After signing the former NY Giants star, the Eagles described Saquon Barkley as special.
PHILADELPHIA - There’s a ton of context to the statement but spring work was hardly “special” for the biggest splash the Eagles made this offseason.
Perhaps that’s not surprising considering the athleticism of White but Baun running with Barkley, 27, is exactly the kind of matchup Kellen Moore will be trying to exploit down the road. Even undrafted rookie Kendall Milton, not known for his acumen in the passing game, showed off plenty of juice when Tanner McKee got him the football in the flat.
There are significant red flags with Barkley, though, that the Eagles are choosing to ignore. The advanced statistics say Barkley hasn’t been a productive runner over a very large sample size now.The premise of Barkley still being the uber-talented kid coming out of Penn State basically comes down to the admittedly poor supporting cast he played with for most of the time with the Giants.
