Eagles RB Saquon Barkley shows off explosiveness in latest workout video
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

It's the dead period of the NFL offseason, so of course we're going to stalk every move that Philadelphia Eagles' star players make and find joy in it. 

This time, it's some workout footage of running back Saquon Barkley, via his Instagram, showing off his explosiveness that is bringing us some excitement. 

If this doesn't hype up fans for the 2024 to see what Barkley can bring to this Eagles offense, then I don't know what else possibly could. 

It's still surreal that Barkley is officially an Eagle after spending the last six seasons with NFC East rival the New York Giants. 

Even Eagles veteran right tackle Lane Johnson can't believe he is teammates with one of the best running backs in the league. 

“Once you see him, you’ll never forget, just [a] physically imposing guy,” Johnson said during an appearance on NFL Network. “I think he walks around 230 [pounds].

"He’s ultra competitive. When you see what he can do at the running back position and we can flex him out at receiver, he can go. It’s unbelievable. I never thought that he would be playing for us, but here it is. I know that he’s excited. We’re definitely excited up front. I think he’s poised for a big, big year.”

Barkley rushed for 962 yards and six touchdowns while also hauling in 41 passes for 280 yards in his last season with New York. 

He's expected to exceed those numbers with the Eagles in 2024 and by the looks of how his offseason training is going, there's no doubt that he will do just that.
