\n The expectations cast upon Saquon Barkley have been high ever since the Giants drafted him second overall in 2018 and Dave Gettleman said he was \u201ctouched by the hand of God\u201d with gold-jacket potential.<\/p>\n

But they pale in comparison to the goals the Giants running back sets for himself.<\/p>\n

Entering his third season in the NFL, Barkley is expecting to take his game<\/a> to another level this fall as a \u201ccomplete back,\u201d even while knowing he may still come up short of his ultimate aspirations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will never be there, I\u2019m going to be completely honest with you,\u201d Barkley said Thursday after practice. \u201cI keep saying I\u2019m going to work for it and work for it, but the way I view myself and the confidence I have in myself, the goal for me to be elite is so high that I don\u2019t think I will ever honestly reach it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if I come anywhere near close to it, I know that I put the work in every single day. I personally can look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and know whenever I am done with this and wrapp<\/a>ed it up, knowing that I put everything I had. Whatever that is, if it\u2019s awards, if it\u2019s Super Bowls, if it\u2019s not, I know for myself internally the work that I put in, I can be satisfied with that one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the immedia<\/a>te future, that means trying to turn his production into wins.<\/p>\n

Through his first two seasons with the Giants, Barkley has been one of the game\u2019s best running backs. He was the 2018 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, rushing for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns to go with 721 receiving yards, then battled through an ankle injury last season to still rush for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns while recording 438 receiving yards in 13 games.<\/p>\n

But the Giants went a combined 9-23 around him, leaving Barkley frustrated by season\u2019s end at the prospect of going home early.<\/p>\n

So as he continues his chase greatness as a running back \u2014 citing Walter Payton and Marshall Faulk as the kind of complete back he aspires to be \u2014 he does so with an eye toward what will help turn the team\u2019s fates around.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be elite overall, whether that\u2019s in the pass game or the run game,\u201d he said. \u201cBut at the end of the day, it\u2019s about winning games. If I can do that by helping my team in the pass game, then that\u2019s the case. If that\u2019s by helping them in the run game, then that\u2019s the case. If it\u2019s by stepping up and making that key block \u2014 we might throw the ball 40 times a game and I might have to be responsible for key blocks \u2014 then that\u2019s what I have to do. It\u2019s not just focusing on just me being elite. It\u2019s whatever it takes to help the team win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barkley will get his first chance to do that Monday night against the Steelers at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n

The season opener comes after a long and unconventional offseason, but one that Barkley said he has spent being pushed like never before.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo disrespect to any coaches I\u2019ve had in the past, right now the coaches, with [running backs coach Burton] Burns and Stephen [Brown, offensive assistant], they just bring two different dimensions,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cThe way they\u2019ve been challenging me, Coach [Joe] Judge and everyone, it\u2019s been probably the hardest offseason we\u2019ve had. Determined to put the work in and put in the grind, and I think that\u2019s going to translate to the football field.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
