Saquon Barkley has played at Lincoln Financial Field just once in his life. As a freshman at Penn State he had one carry for 1 yard there against Temple. But he grew up in not-so-far-away Whitehall, Pennsylvania, so he knows that playing there on Sunday with the Giants will not be on that level.
“Growing up in Pennsylvania, knowing Eagles fans, I know that they’re different, let’s put it that way,” he said with a grin. “That’s the best word I can use for them.”
Barkley said the majority of his friends from high school and college are Eagles fans.
