Eagles star Saquon Barkley just became Daniel Jones' biggest hype man

Former Duke football quarterback Daniel Jones is reviving his career as an NFL starter this season with the Indianapolis Colts. Amid the resurgence of a once-deemed NFL bust, Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley has given Jones the biggest praise. Barkley and Jones spent five seasons with the New York Giants to begin their careers. Jones was released by the franchise midway through the 2024 campaign, and Barkley left in free agency to sign with Philadelphia following the 2023 season. Both former top-ten draft choices by the Giants, Barkley and Jones established a great friendship through their time with the Giants.
