Eagles GM not surprised by Saquon Barkley's historic season

NEW ORLEANS - Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, reflecting on the offseason signing of Saquon Barkley, said he is not surprised by the star back's historic season.

"[He's been a] huge, huge player and person for this team. And [signing him was] not a hard trigger to pull. I think I'm being consistent with what I said in March -- was extremely confident in the player and the person," he said.

"I'd like to say he's exceeded expectations, but he's always been one of the best players I've ever seen whenever I've watched him and I have always known about what kind of person he is because it's not hard to find that out.
