Sometimes when you do an ACL reconstruction, your ACL becomes 10 times stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-megaphone\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=ADL6177750249&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Barkley admitted he would \u201clove to have this over yesterday\u201d but realizes it\u2019s a long road ahead.

Even though it wasn\u2019t diagnosed what it was, I kind of had a feeling what happened and that kind of brings you to tears. I know how hard I worked and what I wanted to help this team do this year and I knew that was all taken away at that moment. You have to suck it up.

I do take the virus seriously. We let our guard down, to be completely honest. We were trying to do it the right way. And that little moment that was captured looking negatively. I was in the forefront of trying to do things, whether it was working with Campbell\u2019s and food banks to give food during the coronavirus or videos to help raise awareness and money for it. I truly want to apologize for that. As a leader of this team and being one of the faces of this franchise, I have to be better for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the impact of the injury on his contract extension negotiations this offseason and if he will play next season without a new deal:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m not really focused on money or anything right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On hearing from others who have had ACL surgery:<\/strong> \u201cSomeone who is really important to me was A.P. [Adrian Peterson]. Obviously when you hear this injury, the first person that comes to mind is the season that A.P. had [winning NFL MVP after ACL surgery]. He put me in contact with his trainer and I was able to ask him a lot of questions. The day before surgery I got to chat with A.P. for a very long time and I can see myself continuing to chat with him throughout rehab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the success of the Giants rushing attack right now, led by the offensive line and Wayne Gallman:<\/strong> \u201cSo proud of Wayne Train. All those guys are playing amazing. I remember after the Steelers <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> when the run game wasn\u2019t so pretty talking to the offensive line and saying, \u2018We know we have here and we\u2019re going to get this thing figured out.\u2019 I wish I was able to be part of it. I\u2019m still part of it in a way, to be completely honest. That\u2019s my mindset.\u201d\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
