Lane Johnson’s still shocked to see Saquon Barkley in the Eagles huddle
In a recent episode of “All Facts No Brakes” with Keyshawn Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles’ star offensive tackle Lane Johnson expressed his astonishment over the steal signing of Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants. Johnson, known for his candidness, discussed the impressive new additions and changes within the Eagles’ roster, notably highlighting Barkley’s unexpected presence.
“We got a running back, back there that I never thought that would be on our team. You got AJ [Brown] you know becoming what he’s becoming, DeVonta [Smith] as well, and then Dallas [Goedert] you know I think is probably one of the more underrated players in the league.”
The signing of Saquon Barkley by the Eagles is indeed a significant move, considering Barkley’s history with the rival New York Giants. Barkley, drafted second overall by the Giants in 2018, quickly established himself as one of the most dynamic running backs in the league. However, despite his individual success, his tenure with the Giants was marred by team struggles and injury woes.
The road ahead for Lane Johnson, Saquon Barkley, and the Eagles
Barkley’s transition to the Eagles comes with substantial intrigue. The Eagles boast a superior offensive line and a more potent offensive system than what Barkley had experienced with the Giants. This change in environment could provide Barkley with the opportunity to truly showcase his talents and elevate his game to new heights.
Barkley’s departure from the Giants was not without its controversies. Giants GM Joe Schoen’s decision to let Barkley walk away has added fuel to the fire.
The move has undoubtedly given Barkley extra motivation as he heads into the new season. Feeling undervalued by his former team, Barkley is likely to enter the season with a chip on his shoulder, eager to prove his worth and make a significant impact.
