Saqon Barkley exited the Giants because New York didn’t want to pay a running back $13+ million per season. Through two quarters in Brazil, Barkley has proved worth his three-year deal.
After a slow start in Brazil, Barkley has utilized his dual-threat abilities to find the end zone twice in the second quarter. After an 18-yard reception from Jalen Hurts, Barkley sprinted in on an 11-yard touchdown run off a handful from Hurts.

Barkley does something other Eagles running backs can’t, including using the one-cut-and-go approach at the line of scrimmage.
Through two-quarters of action, Barkley has accounted for a receiving and rushing touchdown, seven carries for 26 yards, and two catches for 23 yards.
