Broncos meet with 7 quarterbacks at NFL combine
His father, Alibay Barkley, used to sit with Saquon and watch Jets games, and Saquon admired future Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin.
The underclassmen running backs tipped the scales at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday morning, with several notable results, starting with the top running back in the draft, Penn State's Saquon Barkley. You didn't need to look any further than the media scrum he drew Thursday afternoon to know that.
The top of the draft order this year goes Browns, Giants, Colts, Browns again, and then Broncos at fifth.
Barkley figures to be a top five pick in April's NFL Draft.
With that said, the top prospect also kept his options open by saying any team that picked him "would be a good fit".
Barkley may not still be on the board when the Broncos are up, but running back is on the team's list of needs heading into the offseason spending period, especially as they mull parting with starter C.J. Anderson.
"Any team that picks me, I feel I can adapt, " he said.

What he and the 335 other prospects in Indianapolis are trying to do this week is show teams that their skills translate to the next level. But I think they're just a couple of pieces away. I can get you with speed. I can catch the ball out of the backfield. "I think he can play special teams for a period of time to earn himself time to learn how to play the safety position".
Where have we heard that before?
"I think the value of the running back gets more important when he's one of your more important offensive weapons, and how a coach can use him", said Snead, whose Rams offense was built masterfully by Sean McVay around Gurley. "And as the play caller you can't be anxious about what plays you call because "Oh, this guy can catch" or "Oh, this guy can only run the ball" because you know what?" That's one of the things that we've got to get better at is catching the football. That tied him with Georgia's Nick Chubb for the most among running backs. He's a ridiculous talent and his off-the-field persona is just as respected. He finished the 2017 campaign with 1,271 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns, as well as 54 receptions for 632 yards and three scores.
Snead said that probably has more to do with the quality of the running backs who were taken as opposed to any league-wide change in the importance of the position. "So if it's the Browns, the Giants, wherever I get drafted, I'm going to come in with my head low ready to work". "Christian Hackenberg did a great job and set the standard and made you want to go to school there".
Barkley is riding a wave of resurgence for his position, and the tide is only growing stronger.
The Cleveland Browns now own the first and fourth overall picks in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Barkley routinely peruses video of some of the NFL's premier running backs, the Le'Veon Bells, Todd Gurleys and Ezekiel Elliotts. His arrival on the national scene came under the lights in Columbus later that same year when he scorched Ohio State for almost 200 rushing yards. "They've all helped their teams become better", NFL.com's draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "He came from the same division, same conference as I came from".
