Saquon Barkley Has Amazing Gesture for Kid Who Got Snubbed for Autograph by Demarcus Lawrence
By Michael Luciano
Unlike Dallas Cowboys defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, apparently, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has a soft spot for the youngest NFL fans out there.
Kamil Bautista, an 11-year-old Giants fan from Texas who drove nine hours to watch the G-Men play Dallas, was denied for an autograph by Lawrence due to the fact he wasn't sporting a Cowboys jersey. Barkley has already reached out to Bautista's father and is inviting him to their November 10 game against the New York Jets.

TMZ reports that Barkley is going to fly Bautista out to New York, set him up with a few autographs, and give him the full VIP treatment.
Some superstars just don't get it, but some fortunately do. Saquon certainly fits into that latter category after his latest act of giving.

The Giants franchise is in good hands with their charismatic, giving superstar running back as the face of it for the foreseeable future.
