Saquon Barkley hits Giants coach with ill-fated, no-look pass
Saquon Barkley is no Pat Mahomes.
Barkley, the New York Giants running back, proved this recently at preseason camp in East Rutherford, N.J., by trying a no-look pass and promptly pegging an assistant coach in the head.

Mahomes, the third-year quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, wowed NFL audiences almost weekly last season with his deft dimes.

Barkley, a former Penn State product, had a monster rookie year in 2018 gaining 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns while averaging five yards per carry. So hanging on to the ball suits him better. Just ask his coaches.
