Former Giants running back Rashad Jennings summed up his reaction to Saquon Barkley’s dominant Week 1 performance in just two words.
“Love it,” Jennings, 37, expressed repeatedly to The Post on Thursday. “I want to see [the Giants] win. I want to see them get in the playoffs. I want to see them have an above .500 record at least.”

While head coach Brian Daboll earned a game ball afterward, thanks in part to a gutsy two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter,
had fans in awe.

I have a tremendous about of respect, and honor them, for allowing me to play with the ball club.”
