Philadelphia Eagles
· 2026-06-30
The Philadelphia Eagles' star running back Saquon Barkley was ranked below 7 other RBs by NFL analyst Pete Prisco.
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports believes Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, De'Von Achane, and Derrick Henry are better than Barkley.
Barkley's 2025 season was not as good as his 2024 campaign, with rushing yards falling from 2,005 to 1,440.
His yards per carry dropped from 5.8 to 4.1, which Prisco attributed to poor line play.
The Eagles won the NFC East last season but lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the 2026 playoffs' wild-card round at home.
The team's new OC, Sean Mannion, will be calling plays, replacing Kevin Patullo, who was fired after one season.
The Eagles are currently 12th in the American Football Conference with a 6-11 record and on a L6 streak as of June 30, 2026.
Their next game is against the Washington Commanders on September 13, 2026.
Jalen Hurts finished the 2025 season with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards, and 8 rushing touchdowns.
He completed 64.8% of his passes and has 17,891 passing yards, 110 passing touchdowns, 3,554 rushing yards, and 63 rushing touchdowns in his career.
Barkley had 1,140 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns in 2025, a decline from his 2,005 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns in 2024.
The Eagles' offense will be fascinating to watch with Mannion calling plays, especially if Hurts plays well next season.
But if Hurts struggles, the team will be in trouble, given the importance of the QB spot in the NFL.
The Eagles' performance will depend on how well they can adapt to the new OC and improve their line play.
