The Philadelphia Eagles are embarking on a new chapter marked by the arrival of a true superstar in the running back position, a departure from their previous running back-by-committee strategy.

The acquisition of Saquon Barkley from a divisional rival signals a significant shift and promises potential dividends.

Barkley’s anticipation to join the team was palpable during his recent appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast, ‘New Heights.’

He likened his excitement to that of a child in a candy store, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to integrate with his new teammates.

During the podcast, Jason Kelce shared some light-hearted advice with Barkley, humorously urging him not to fall short at the one-yard line, referencing their team’s infamous ‘Tush Push’ or ‘Brotherly Shove’ play.

Barkley acknowledged the significance, expressing awareness of the touchdowns missed by Miles Sanders due to similar occurrences. Jason Kelce empathized with Sanders’ plight, acknowledging the impact it had on him.

With Barkley’s formidable presence and the support of an elite offensive line, the Eagles anticipate an uptick in scoring opportunities. However, Barkley’s injury history underscores a potential risk factor, as he has grappled with staying healthy throughout his career.

Nevertheless, if Saquon Barkley manages to maintain his fitness, the stage is set for a stellar performance in the City of Brotherly Love, promising an exciting season ahead for the Eagles.
