Saquon Barkley is going to give credit where credit is due, even if it is his now-NFC East rival New York Giants. 

Barkley, who has thrived with the Philadelphia Eagles after scoring five touchdowns through the first three weeks of the season, was spotted shouting out Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who had two touchdowns himself in the win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. 

Nabers, the Giants' No. 6 overall pick, caught the attention of everyone around the league with his acrobatic touchdown grab on the road and overall production over three weeks as well.

"Ya gonna hate on it… but idc!!! He’s LIKE THAT!!" Barkley wrote on X. 

Nabers, who also goes by "Leek," was hyped after feeling victory for the first time in the NFL. 

"Giants fans, it’s Leek over here. Got the dub. Let’s keep it working, let’s keep on moving," he said in the video.
