For the first six seasons of his NFL career, Saquon Barkley only knew Lincoln Financial Field, and the Eagles fans that fill it, from the visitor locker room. After signing with the Eagles this offseason, Barkley had his first taste of his new home at last week’s open practice, and he was blown away.
Speaking to reporters after Monday’s training camp practice, the running back lauded the environment and expressed his appreciation to the fans.
Barkley said he was shown a lot of love as he exited the home team tunnel for his very first time, and noted that he appreciates how much this team means to the fans.
