The corridor in New York Giants, Saquon Barkley, and the wide receiver of Cleveland Browns, Odell Beckham Jr., are in similar places. Both are rehabilitated by ACL tears and are used reciprocally as a resource in this process.
Former companions for giant discuss regularly and plan to get together to rehabilitate together and train out of season.
“The only thing I planned for sure, I will definitely connect [Odell]”, said Barkley A ESPN during an interview conducted during the promotion of the Campbell’s Chunky Million Meals Challenge, which raises money to deliver over 100 million meals to children. “Obvious, O’Dell he broke his knee a little. I think we just need to be there. We are good friends. Mutual competition and mutual push will also be good. It’s the only thing I know for sure I’ll do. Everything else is in the air. “
Barkley He underwent surgery on his right knee on October 30 in Los Angeles. Beckham he needed his left knee to be surgically repaired on Nov. 10 in Florida. So I’m not that far off, in terms of trying to get back to 100% for next season.
Barkley, Aged 23, was rehabilitated in the facilities of giant in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and praised his work with the physiotherapist / rehabilitation director Leigh Weiss, and the rest of the employees. That will continue until NFL complete your off-season plan sometime around Super Bowl. But at some point, he will take his sessions on the west coast, where he is stationed Beckham.
“Every year we connect at some point, somewhere. I will definitely find a way to connect,” he said. Barkley. “Obviously, I would love to do it, any of those guys who go through this injury Joe [Burrow], [Devin] bush, Bud [Dupree], there are various types and I think it would be really great if we could all get together. “
burrow, bush and Dupree they also suffered tears of the cruciate ligament previously in the campaign.
Barkley He said he thought it might be helpful to be around others in similar conditions. It is not necessary to compete, but to see how everyone attacks their rehabilitation and returns.
“It’s not so much about comparing to each other, because hurting everyone – they could have this or that – is different,” he said. Barkley. “So it’s not so much about comparing or competing with each other. What I mean by competition is like competing within ourselves and making sure we push each other and bring out the best in each other. good of us. “
Beckham He has been consistently adamant about surrounding himself with individuals with the same idea that shines in their respective industries. He is a known friend of LeBron James and the rapper Drake.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Beckham welcome Barkley in your inner circle. They have both been close ever since Barkley was recruited by giant in 2018 and remained close even after Beckham was marketed the following year.
“I certainly spoke, either on the phone or playing Call of Duty. Obviously, we played a little more than we wanted this year “, he said. Barkley. “But it was weird. I’m literally doing rehabilitation. I remember rehabilitating. I look up and look. I see a video and I see O’Dell wound. That must have hurt me.
“But obviously neither of us wants to go through this, I think we could say, but it’s very important considering that we are very close and we know each other so well and we are both competitors and we think we can help each other, yes it’s important that “Let’s connect. But at the same time, we both have the mindset to improve by 1 percent every day. It’s what we get from each other. Either way they could get it.”
