    The thought of Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr. on the field together will doubtless cause Giants fans to salivate. Ditto for Barkley and Beckham, who discussed the possibility of Barkley joining Big Blue before it happened, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

    “We talked the Giants drafting me into existence,” Barkley said. “When I used to hang out with Odell, I’d tell him, ‘I’m going to be a Giant, I want to be a Giant, I want to be a part of that team.'”

    The duo started working out together when Barkley was still at Penn State, and the running back has leaned on Beckham for advice. Due to Beckham’s off-the-field exploits, he has been able to give Barkley both sides of what it’s like to be in the spotlight.

    Beckham’s 2017 season ended after just four games due to an ankle fracture. His offseason hasn’t come without controversy — a video featuring Beckham holding what seemed to be a blunt went viral in March — and his behavior off the field has been a constant subject of conversation.

    “He gave me a lot of tips on how to do it, and how not to do it,” Barkley said. “He’s done a little bit of both. Everyone has that. … He’s seen it all.”
