Saquon Barkley isn't just penning a spectacular chapter of his NFL career, he's rewriting his entire story. The New York Giants allowed Barkley to walk away. Now the superstar running back is assembling an MVP-caliber season for the Philadelphia Eagles, setting a franchise record Sunday night with 255 yards rushing in a 37-20 rout of the Rams.
A big reason why I wanted to come here ... is I think this is a spot where I can rewrite my story. I feel like I can show everyone the type of player I can be and was meant to be.
The psychological effect of those long runs on a defense? 'It hurts their spirit, man,' fellow Eagles running back Kenny Gainwell said. 'It kills them.' And the Rams had to deal with two of those soul-crushing rambles.
I looked up to see where I was at and I literally said, 'Man, I wish I never saw that.' That's just the devil talking. I just kept my head down, kept trusting the system.
