PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley is plenty familiar with Giants rookie Abdul Carter. Barkley watched Carter terrorize Big Ten backfields for his alma mater for the last three years.

But on Thursday, Barkley will get his closest look yet at Carter in a clash of Penn State stars.

Barkley’s Eagles will face Carter’s Giants in an NFC East showdown at MetLife Stadium. The Birds are pushing to bounce back from a 21-17 loss to the Broncos and get their inconsistent offense rolling. Carter will be doing everything in his power to stop that from happening.

“I’ve been watching him for a long time at Penn State and on film. He’s really good," Barkley said Tuesday. “He’s definitely going to be a challenge for our guys up front.”
