Since the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, it can be easy to forget: The Chiefs mostly bottled up Saquon Barkley on the ground. The Eagles and Barkley are well aware of that fact, though, and they have a plan to counteract it. It's time to reactivate Barkley as a receiver. ESPN's Tim McManus described the plan in a new article out Friday:

Barkley will likely be joined in the backfield by AJ Dillon and Will Shipley, who also has some pass-catching skills. The Eagles will be mindful of Barkley's snap count after logging a career-high 345 attempts in 2024, but it doesn't sound like his playing time will be reduced dramatically.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley believes rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell will be a problem for NFL offenses this season.
