Eagles’ Saquon Barkley Hypes Giants’ Malik Nabers Video: ‘He’s LIKE THAT!! 😤😤😤’

A divisional rivalry won’t stop Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley from praising stars on his old team.

Barkley reposted wide receiver Malik Nabers’ message to New York Giants fans after Sunday’s 21-15 win over the Cleveland Browns and said the rookie is “LIKE THAT!!”:

Nabers caught eight passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns against Cleveland, almost outscoring the Browns all on his own. That continued a strong start from the No. 6 overall pick, who’s fifth in the NFL in average receiving yards (90.3 per game).

More than that, Nabers is already assembling the kind of highlight reel that leads you to believe he could be an elite wideout for years to come.

Barkley’s shout-out is both deserved and not any different from what a lot of people are saying.

However, the two-time Pro Bowler was expected to leave any affection for the Giants, for whom he played six seasons, at the door when he signed with the Eagles. Emotions are still a little raw over his offseason exit as well, so speaking positively about Giants players won’t earn him any goodwill in the Big Apple.

Philly and New York meet for the first time this year in Week 7. Maybe Barkley is trying to disarm Nabers with flattery in the hope he doesn’t torch the Eagles secondary.
