Saquon Barkley is fiercely competitive.
So after earning recognition as the NFL's best running back earlier in the day, besting Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott for the honor, the Giants' sensational running back wasn't done.
Barkley finished out Saturday in style by beating Baker Mayfield for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award during NFL Honors at the Fox Theater. He is the first Giant to garner that distinction since Odell Beckham Jr. (2014) dating back to 1967.
And fitting enough, Beckham presented Barkley the award.
Barkley was named FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Year, given to the league's top running back, despite being up against the previous two winners: Gurley of the Rams and the Cowboys' Elliott.
