Pretty sure during a pre-draft discussion, if not draft night, I expressed my concern of having to face Barkley twice a year, should the Giants draft him. And you basically said, not to worry. He'll be average, at best, in the NFL. Draft position wasn't part of that particular discussion.
I may have said that, not sure average was a correct assessment. My assertion has always been, he will wear down by the end of the season in the NFL because he'd wear down at Penn State as the season wore down. They rode him hard in Happy Valley, and the Giants are riding him hard now. I don't see a long, healthy career for him.
