Jason Kelce retired following last season after 13 years in the NFL, all with the Eagles.
“I tell Howie all the time, ‘Why did you wait until I’m retired to add a piece like this?’ The last time I played with a running back probably this talented was LeSean McCoy, I’d say,” Kelce. “Darren Sproles I got at the tail end of his career and he was really good, too. I’ve played with some good backs. I’m very thankful for the teammates I’ve had but having a guy like Saquon would have been really nice.
“There are a lot of runs that traditionally you would see and there would be not much there, maybe it’s a no gain, maybe it’s a tackle for loss or all of a sudden one of them it looked like he was close to getting tackled behind the line of scrimmage and he breaks it for a touchdown,” Kelce told the outlet. “Another one, the run got thinned out and he just kinda found his way through and took it for maybe over 15? He’s just a very good player.
Quarterback Daniel Jones had a nightmarish return from a torn ACL, completing just 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions — one of which was returned for a pick-six. “I talked to him,” Barkley said. “I’m really good friends with DJ, obviously he didn’t have the game that he wants … I just let him know, just go out there and play free and do what you do best.”See All ColumnistsNYCFC's Matt Freese bucked family's scientist aspirations to chase budding MLS stardom
