Saquon Barkley is a beast. He showed it at Penn State and again at the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s reportedly in play for the No. 1 overall pick and certainly someone that just about every team in the NFL would want to have.
One assistant coach made that abundantly clear.
NFL assistant coach on Saquon Barkley: “I would punch myself in the nuts many, many, many times to be able to draft him.”

Let’s hope that this coach’s team doesn’t make him put his money where his mouth is.
We don’t presently know which coach said this. But if after the draft we notice an NFL assistant talking in a higher register than we’re used to, that will probably be a pretty good clue.
