Eagles
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said Sundayโs game against the Giants isnโt a revenge game and heโs thankful for the Philadelphia organization to give him an opportunity.
โIโm thankful for the opportunity from this organization, from [CEO Jeffery Lurie] to [general manager Howie Roseman] to everybody getting me here. So thatโs the people I have to prove it to, and my teammates,โ Barkley said, via ESPN. โAnd at the end of the day, the most important thing is winning, whether I have 300 yards or I have 10 yards, as long as we win. I donโt have that big of a pride or ego that if I go out there and ball that Iโm looking at those guys over there like, โLook what you guys let go.โ Thereโs no hate over there, but at the same time I do know itโs a big game, an important game.โ
Barkley referenced the game he tore his ACL in during the 2020 campaign. Barkley was coming off a down performance and put a ton of emphasis on having a turnaround game.
โI was really out there trying to prove everyone wrong, like you guys, the media, everyone was talking crap about me, so I kind of wanted that โF youโ moment,โ Barkley said. โGod works in mysterious ways. Definitely humbled me then and I wonโt let it happen again.โ
