The Philadelphia Eagles made the splash move earlier this offseason to sign Pro Bowl running back Saquon Barkley to a multi-year deal.
The former Penn State star comes over from the rival New York Giants and could help Philly make magic happen on offense.
Recently, the team released a hype video of Barkley coming out of a tunnel wearing his green Eagles uniform with the No. 26 on it.

This is one of those videos that should give Eagles fans chills.
After losing their 1,000-yard running back from a year ago in D’Andre Swift, who signed with the Chicago Bears as a free agent, the Eagles may have gotten an upgrade in Barkley.
The former Offensive Rookie of the Year and All-American had a productive six years for the most part in New York while overcoming injuries too.
He recorded over 1,200 scrimmage yards four times and rushed for 1,000 yards three times.
The two-time Pro Bowl back should add a nice dosage of athleticism and versatility to a team that already has a few stars on offense.
Adding Barkley to an offense that already has a Pro Bowl quarterback in Jalen Hurts and a couple of 1,000-yard receivers in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith is a really scary proposition for the rest of the league.
After starting 10-1 last season, Philadelphia finished 11-6 and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Two years after nearly winning the Super Bowl, the Eagles, with help from Barkley, should have the chance to contend again in 2024.
