The Facts: Barkley comes off a rookie season during which he totaled 2,028 yards (1,307 rushing) and 15 touchdowns. NFL defenses are effectively put on notice in 2019, though, because Barkley believes he left some potential big plays on the field in 2018. "There are so many," Barkley told NFL.com at the Pro Bowl. "Everyone is going to see that. There are so many plays. Every time you go back to the film, if I did this or I would've done that, I could've done this. There are so many plays. That's the beauty of it. You're going to leave plays on the field, but you can learn from it and you can get better."

Diehards Line:As NFL.com's Herbie Teope notes, Barkley, the second overall pick of last year's draft, turned heads last season by establishing an NFL rookie running back receptions record with 91. He also joined Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and Edgerrin James as the two players in league history to total 2,000-plus yards in a rookie season. And even with all those accomplishments, Barkley feels what he sees on film from the past season will only make him better. Barkley added td some of the biggest takeaways from his rookie season included watching film, work ethic, how to treat teammates and developing into a leader. He can now apply all those areas to his personal workouts as he looks to not leave any plays on the field in 2019 to help the Giants secure more wins. -"When I've been a better leader and I've been having fun with the game and I'm focused on it, I had more success," he said. "So, that's what I want to do."
