When people are so desperate to figure out what is going on with a player who is struggling, they will grasp at anything they can hold on to for a reason.
It's no secret that Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley hasn't played up to the standards he is used to. Barkley went from averaging 125.3 yards per game in 2024 to just 52.7 yards per game on the ground.
In 2024, Barkley was playing on a whole different level with 2,005 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. He was the AP Offensive Player of the Year and helped capture a Super Bowl for the Eagles.
