Watch: Giants RB Saquon Barkley leaves defenders in the dust on 36-yard TD run

When healthy, Saquon Barkley is easily one of the most explosive players in the NFL. He's a threat to take it to the house anytime he gets the football in his hands.

The problem is, the New York Giants haven't been able to experience a whole bunch of healthy Barkley over the years. When he's on the field, he's a beast. He's dealt with a plethora of injuries or setbacks throughout the past five seasons, though.

It was almost easy to forget how good Barkley can be heading into his season and laugh it off when he said during the preseason that the player they drafted is still here.

Nobody was laughing on "Monday Night Football", though, when Barkley scampered for a 36-yard touchdown run against the Dallas Cowboys that showed off (literally) all of his talents.

From the ability to break tackles, to the elite vision and breakaway speed, it was all there for Barkley on that run.

No wonder the Giants took him with the No. 2 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

This guy is good.
