Fantasy Alert: 'Dynamic' Saquon Barkley Hyped by Eagles HC Sirianni After Contract

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is "really excited" about the team's offseason addition of star running back Saquon Barkley.

Sirianni told reporters on Sunday that Barkley should bring a whole new dimension to Philadelphia's offense:

"I'm really excited about Saquon and the things that he can do. You know he's such a dynamic football player. Both as a running back and also the things he can do as a pass catcher. He's going to bring an element to our offense and to our team. As much as we see him, all the highlights that we see on the tape—from my understanding and all of our homework he's a good leader and teammate, as well. To be able to add that into our locker room, and not only the playmaking ability, but the person, is really important."

If Barkley can stay healthy, the Eagles should be scary on offense. The team already boasts one of the better offensive lines in football—even in the wake of longtime center Jason Kelce retiring—a dynamic trio of pass-catchers in A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert and dual-threat quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Barkley will offer the team something it hasn't had since the LeSean McCoy days—a true three-down back that impacts the game as a runner, receiver and blocker. An already talented offense should be all the more dangerous with the two-time Pro Bowler in tow.
