Saquon Barkley not a fan of the nickname he's gotten from the New York Giants
Former Penn State RB Saquon Barkley was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and now that he’s a New York Giant, he’s meeting his new fanbase.
Those fans, based on Barkley’s massive legs, have given him an interesting nickname — Saquads, referencing his large quad muscles.
Now star WR Odell Beckham Jr. is in on the nickname, much to the dismay of Barkley, as you can see in the Twitter exchange below:
Oh nah that gotta stop 😂😂

Can you blame Giants fans for liking the nickname? After all, look at Barkley’s quads from when he threw out the first pitch at the Yankees game recently:
Beckham, of course, knows it’s going to stick, so he told his new teammate to just lean into the nickname:
Lil bra , just let it happen 😂😂 https://t.co/H8lOGQ8vpv

It’s not the worst nickname out there, but for now, it’s going to stick. Barkley will have to earn a new nickname on the field this fall.
