Eagles' Saquon Barkley has helped teammates during challenging times.
accomplishments this season, they bring up Barkley becoming the ninth running back in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a season or they talk about Barkley’s reverse leap over Jacksonville Jaguars cornerbackBut those moments don’t encapsulate everything about what makes Barkley great because his achievements go beyond the statistics.
NJ Advance Media talked to a former teammate from the New York Giants and several Eagles ones over this past week to get their perspective on Barkley’s impact beyond the numbers. The interviews have been lightly edited for length and clarity. “For me on the outside, I probably looked okay, but on the inside, I wasn’t. Allowing me to be able to express that to him — I do have a hard time expressing emotions at times with certain people — was helpful. He always made it very well known, no matter what someone needed, he was always there. That held true ever since then. The biggest for me was just the fact he was able to sit there and listen to me when most people think football players are not affected by death in the same way. It does.
“Me and Saquon were having a conversation today about the Pro Bowl long snappers. The fact that he even was having that conversation with me . He came up to me and asked me, ‘How is the AFC Pro Bowl long snapper from the Jaguars?’ I said, ‘He’s great. He’s made it back-to-back years. Him and his punter are going together this year, which is really cool.’ He’s just curious about everyone’s position.
“It helps me just trust myself. I know that I’m good enough to be in this league, and he lets me know that. It gets me out of my head from overthinking, so I can stay in the moment.” “Just the little things around the building . If you’re in way in the training room, he’ll move out the way and let you take his seat. It makes you want to return the favor and help people.”
