Saquon Barkley is believed to have blown out his ACL in Sunday’s New York Giants’ loss to the Chicago Bears.
The third-year back from Penn State took time later to delete every post on his Instagram account except for one: a photo of the late Kobe Bryant.
The caption posted eight-plus months ago around the time of the helicopter crash that took the life of the Lakers’ star, his daughter, and seven others.
As opposed to distancing himself from Big Blue, the guess here is Barkley is telling people he plans on working hard and returning the way Kobe Bryant did after he suffered an Achilles tear and famously shot two free throws despite the injury.
