Running back Kenjon Barner is making a strong case to be part of the Eagles' 53-man roster as a special teams ace.
Barner had his second consecutive game with a punt return touchdown Saturday in the 40-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Barner's 68-yard touchdown in the second quarter followed up a 92-yard punt return score in last Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Barner, who relies profoundly on advice from running back Darren Sproles, knows that if it was not for the guys blocking in front of him on the punt return, he would not have been able to take off and run for the touchdown.
