Saquon Barkley's biggest critic is himself

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, the 2024 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, is preparing for the 2026 season under new Offensive Coordinator Sean Mannion, who favors quarterback-under-center formations. To adapt to the potential schematic change, Barkley has been consulting former NFL running back and two-time All-Pro Todd Gurley, studying his approach to attacking defenses. Barkley noted that under-center alignments offer running backs clearer sightlines, and he expressed enthusiasm about the new opportunities the scheme could provide.
