 great to see you man and it's great to hear all the positive things about camp for you so far. How has it felt to you so far to be back? I feel really good especially to get back here again in the camp, getting the flow of things, get a little priest in the game under the belt and last year I didn't have this. I didn't have this chance to go out there and practice and find a way to get better but now I have that so I'm just trying to take full advantage of it. Because of a new system, a new vibe, does it feel kind of like a rebirth for you. You're finally getting an opportunity here really to show what you can do. You're healthy and you've got I think an offense that could really click for you. Yeah I wouldn't really call it a rebirth but it's exciting you know. There's excitement in the locker room, there's excitement all over through the facility and we're just ready to go out there and have fun and play the sport that we love and I think the coaches are doing an unbelievable job. I think the players are doing an unbelievable job so we're just taking one day at a time and it's trying to get better one day at a time. I know that the likely answer to this will be no but I have to ask you because it's like the human question to me. Everyone knows the circumstance you're in. You need to have a big year. You won't have a big year for your football career and for this football team and with the injuries that have happened is it scary? Like do you feel nervous at all about it or do you just need to completely get that out of your mind and go out and play football? No I can't live like that. You know I only can control what I can control and to be honest the last couple years the injuries that I've had have been out of my control and if it's not in the cards for me and it's not in the cards for me but my mind says I'm going to go out there and work and get better every single day and the things that I can't control that's what I'm going to focus on and everything that's out of my control so be it. Just go out there have fun, play the sport that I love that I've been playing since I was eight years old and do at a high level. Can you put in the words how frustrating those injuries were for you that not being able to do what you knew you were capable of doing? Yeah I mean it's definitely what's frustrating but it is what it is and I feel like the player that I'm going to be and the player that I'm going to be for the rest of my career and the man that it made me it made me to be all happened for a reason. I learned a lot of lessons throughout these last few years and you know at the time and I couldn't understand it but now looking back on it everything happens for a reason and I really believe that I'm a better football player from it and I'm a better person from it. How dialed in were you post injury Saquon to every game like are you the kind of player who wants to be obsessed and watch every play or is it hard to watch and do you want to remove yourself a little bit? I'm dialed in because that's the end of the day I just want my team to win so especially the year when you know we came down to the last game and we had to win the last game to give ourselves a chance again to play also and obviously it didn't work out for us but I'll be dialed in even though I'm not even though I haven't been there on physical in the field but I feel like you know that's my duty as a teammate is to be dialed in and try to root for my guys. Do you do you continue to communicate with Daniel when you're not around? Yeah, of course. I mean only really the only time it was like that was like two months and that's when I was on LA rehabbing but other than that I was in the facility I was in the building and I was around all the guys when I heard my knee and then last year when I heard my ankle I was there the whole time. You know, I was trying to get trying to get healthy and trying to get back as fast as I can so I can keep communication with all the guys and I have tremendous family and friends and teammates here. I mean, DJ sales, Shep and those guys I remember they would forget about the whole workout and then come out there right there on that field with me and help me and push me to get back and at the time it all didn't make sense but now I see all the hard work that I put in and the way those guys pushed me how it's coming to play now. You know, Shep's the veteran on this team and he hasn't really even been here that long so considering where you were drafted how great you can be and the name recognition that you have. Do you feel a responsibility to be a leader? Can you take that on on top of everything else that you have? I don't feel the responsibility to do that. I think that's just how I am. You know, the only time I really felt the responsibility to become a leader was my sophomore year going to my junior high school football and that's when I had that transition and when I had to kind of figure it out. Now, you know, I feel like that's just me. I go out here and I just try to compete at a level. I'm a very competitive person. You know, I think my work out this piece for yourself and you know, I don't really feel extra pressure to to to go out there and speak and be vocal. Now it just comes a little more natural. I still look up stuff. I still watch videos. Last night I was watching videos of Kobe Bryant like how he pushed his teammates. You know, I still try to do all those things because I feel you can always improve and expand your knowledge and anything. But for me, it's no pressure to go out there and be me. What feels different because like one thing that we keep hearing is that you look great. You've been one of the real bright spots so far and the people are excited. What what to you feels physically different and are you doing anything different preparation was? To be honest, nothing's really different. I could just practice. It's just the ability to play. Yeah, I can just practice and like I don't got to really focus. I guess you could say like the big differences, like, you know, coming off of the injury. You know, you can put that mask on and you get hide it to the world and even to yourself and tell lots of yourself that it's not bothering you is going out there. I kind of thought that method was worth it. Just lie to yourself and go out there and just grind it out and the rest of your body's going to catch up and take care of you. Obviously it took care of me, but you know, you can go back and watch film and you can see the hesitation, the extra that's your revolution and footwork and all that stuff stuff that I don't that I didn't need to do. I guess you could say that's a difference, but I'm not going. I'm not going out there second guessing myself and going to just play football and having fun and I'm really excited for the season. I'm not sure if you saw this. I don't think you did Peter here. Here's a quote being as young as he is. Players bounce back for injury all the time. We saw that with Adrian Peterson just a few years ago. I have all the faith and confidence in Saquon Barry Sanders. Yeah, that's got to make you feel pretty. You don't miss that. You don't know that one. That one definitely got brought to my attention. It was sent to me by a lot of people. You know, I was I never got to watch Barry Sanders play. I think he finished career in 98. I was born 97. But you know, with YouTube and highlights, I was able to watch all the stuff that he was able to do and as a kid try to replicate his style. So I'm a big fan of Barry and you know, have nothing but the most respect for him. And we have a guy like that coming out and speaking up for you like that means a lot means a world to me. So I really do appreciate that. Talking to Saquon Barclay of the New York Giants. Saquon, were you able to feel like this can be a very tough town? We talk about it on the show a lot. Fans can be very hard of all the teams. I got to say, I don't know how you feel, Don, but to me you you are really loved by this fan base. Like I felt that even through injury and you know, of course, frustration and disappointment, people want you on the field. To me, it feels that more than a lot of other players, the fan base really is rooting for you. Do you do you get that sense as well? Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, there's two sides of it. There's gonna be the negative things said about you. But that's life. That's something that my mom and dad taught me as a little kid. And I'm very appreciative of the, you know, the love and support that I get from this from the city, from all the fans here. And you know, there's a reason why they've been upset. You know, I haven't been healthy. We haven't been very successful as a team in New York and New Jersey. You know, they're proud about their team. They're proud about the stuff that we go and what we display out there. And you know, I was born here. I grew up basically. I was a jet I was a jet fan growing up. But when the jets didn't make the playoffs, I switched to a Giants fan. So like, I was like, that's my brother's a Giants fan. Like it's like, I understand it. So I know why they're frustrated, but I could see the frustration. But at the end of the day, like I'm appreciative of it, the love and support that I, you know, that they still have. And you know, that's something I want to do. I'm going to go out there and make those people proud. How do you think this new offense is going to work for you? You know, for me, personally, I really don't look too much into that. I just feel like that, you know, cast days, all the coaches do a great job of putting us in position to make plays and, you know, do a really good job of helping us understand the playbook is a lot. It's a lot. You know, we do a lot of different things. And, you know, we try to play fast, too, at the same time. So especially when you for myself or for Daniel, when you've got three offenses in the last three, four years, it's tough to maintain that. But I think they've been doing a great job. And I think, you know, I think we're going to be able to shock some people and be able to make some plays on offense. And I think our defense is going to be amazing. And I know team Matt can have a special team room. Are you a big visualizer? Are you the kind of person who sits home and pictures? What's going to happen? Yeah, I mean, you kind of go dark for a little bit. When you're away from the game, where you're hurt, that was kind of like the biggest struggle for me. I couldn't close my eyes and I couldn't, like, visualize like me being on the field or making plays. And now, like, I feel like, you know, that's back. I feel like I have that confidence back. You know, I feel like before prior to injury, anytime I touched the ball, it can be a touchdown from anywhere on the field. And I feel like I have that I feel like I have that explosiveness, that burst, that looseness, all that stuff back. So I'm excited to do all that. We reference it all the time because we all saw that the Derek Jeter doc and he talks about he used negative, negativity as fuel. He wants to prove everybody wrong. Do you have that same type of mindset? Yeah, I mean, it's kind of hard to balance, you know, last year coming into the season, you know, I kind of got away from that. There's a lot of people saying negative things about me after a tourney. And, like, when you're taking, when the game's taken away from you, you're kind of just at a position, at a spot where you're just like, man, I'm just so grateful to be able to come back and play football. Like, that's all I was really thinking about. Now it's kind of like, I have that mentality that I just want to kill everything. I just want to go crazy. And it's not just because of the negative things that I said about me, that does fuel you. Don't get me wrong. I'm human at the end of the day. Like, you know, light a fire on me a little bit. But I know how special I am and I know how great I'm going to be. And that's why I want to do it. Now, you've always, when we talked to you in the past, I know you've never been a contract-focused kind of dude. But obviously that is going to be a conversation this year. What will happen? Will you get franchised? Will they extend? How much does that weigh on you, that future? Like I said, I kind of really don't think too much into it. I feel like, you know, I'm going to be myself a disservice if I have that mindset or that mentality. So my approach to is one day at a time, I know that's not like the cliche answer, but like, I'm a firm believer and like, I'm going to come in every single day and try to do all the little things I can do and try to be the best sake on Barclay. I can be through the good, through the bad, through my mistakes, through the great plays. And if I come in with that mindset and working in each day and try to tick away each day, each day. Every single day. At the end of this, at the end of everything, I'm going to be able to look back and be satisfied what happened. Saquon, we really appreciate the time. And I think I speak for both of us in saying it's like, you know, we talk about sports 24 seven, you know, and you cover athletes 24 seven. The few years we've gotten to see you at camp, you are truly one of the best things to talk to. That's why this is a huge Yankee Met Day. We want to make time because that's the kind of energy you've put out since you've been here. So we appreciate you, man, and wish you the best luck this season. Thank you so much. That's very fire, by the way. Classic red man. Thank you very much, Saquon. Appreciate your time, man. Thanks. The great Saquon Barkley from Giants Camp.
