Giants RB Saquon Barkley didn't need words to voice his frustrations over the killing of George Floyd following his arrest by a Minneapolis police officer. Instead, he used a picture on his Instagram story to talk for him.

Reposting a photoshopped picture done by graphic designer Kyle Cyr, Barkley has on a jersey that reads "I can't breathe," a phrase that was repeatedly said by Floyd as police officer Derek Chauvin was prone with his knee of his neck for roughly nine minutes.

Barkley joins the masses of athletes who have spoken out and shown support for the events going on across the country following Floyd's death. Protests are going on all over the country, and many have been sharing their voices and using their platforms to take a stand.

The Giants did so on Tuesday as well, releasing a statement that explained how they will be trying to "advocate social justice and sustained change" in their community.

"George Floyd's senseless death is the type of tragedy we have seen too often for far too long," the statement read. "Over the past week, our players and coaches have talked about the hurt, the frustration and the anger. Each of us is feeling some or all of that.

"We will continue to expand our relationships where we can have a meaningful, positive impact and make a difference."
