Saquon Barkley already among Eagles elite with franchise milestone

Everyone will continue talking about Saquon Barkley’s heroic reverse-hurdle against the Jaguars, but the RB had another reason to celebrate after the game on Sunday. After just a short time with the Eagles, Barkley has already cemented himself among the greats, hitting 1,000 total yards of offense in just eight games. The running back is only the third player in franchise history to hit that mark.

The only other Eagles players to achieve this feat are LeSean McCoy and Brian Westbrook, both of whom were in attendance for Barkley’s big day. Westbrook was at the kelly green game to help induct McCoy into the Eagles Hall of Fame, and they both got a glimpse of the heir to the rushing throne in Philly.
