NEW ORLEANS — Saquon Barkley deserved this moment, confetti falling on him, his teammates loving on him and him loving them back, a Lombardi Trophy that for six New York seasons seemed so far away waiting for him to touch, to hoist.
The football gods who had been so cruel to him for too long relented in the best way possible, at the best possible time, allowing a champion football player and a champion person to be a champion.
Happy 28th birthday to Saquon Barkley.
A dream night for a dream player who found his Dream Team.
