Barkley, Mc Caffrey are best RBs in NFL The best running back in football right now is Saquon Barkley, I think, said running back Jonathan Stewart, who played nine seasons with the Panthers before playing last year for the Giants, on the Wilson Parcell show Friday.
Obviously its up for debate, but when asked who he believed to be the best at the position, Stewart, who is a free agent, did not hesitate to name Barkley and then Mc Caffrey – albeit both of them former teammates.
In his freshman campaign, Barkleys 1,307 yards rushing were second in the NFL and went along with a 5.0 yards per carry average, 91 receptions for 721 yards and 15 total touchdowns .
Much like Barkley, Mc Caffrey was outstanding in the face of his franchises travails as the Giants were 5-11 and the Panthers finished at 7-9.
