Watch: Saquon Barkley hilariously trolls Giants at Super Bowl media day

Super Bowl week has finally arrived, and the players participating in New Orleans spoke with reporters at the Caesars Superdome for media day.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was given a particularly significant amount of attention at his booth, mostly for his near-record-breaking rushing season that led his team to a shot at a championship.

But one "reporter" seemingly came to ask Barkley for employment advice. Current free-agent quarterback Jameis Winston, representing Fox Sports, shouted a question at Barkley asking which team the former Cleveland Brown should sign for this offseason.

Barkley, quick on his feet on and off the field, quipped back with a clever suggestion for Winston.

"I think New York needs a quarterback right now," he said.

"Which one?" Winston followed up.

"Giants," Barkley replied to which Winston told him to "do your thing."

As most fans know by now, Barkley was let go by the Giants last offseason and has made them regret that decision. Monday's jab was just the latest handful of salt thrown in New York's wounds.

The Giants are expected to heavily consider selecting a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in April but bringing in Winston as a backup wouldn't be out of the question either.

Even before playing for the Lombardi Trophy with the arch-rival Eagles, Barkley is seemingly still looking out for his old team – even if it was tongue-in-cheek.
