Saquon Barkley sat on the Eagles’ bus as it entered the parking lot for his first trip as an opposing player to MetLife Stadium. He had his headphones on and was doing his best to drown out the noise — literal and figurative — before facing the New York Giants.

By then, Barkley and the Eagles had long silenced the Giants crowd, who booed him every time he touched the ball until they were worn down, much like the Giants' vaunted defensive line. Barkley showed that in the first quarter, when he caught a short pass along the sideline and literally ran over Dane Belton.

It's safe to say Saquon Barkley was one of the most impactful signings of the offseason. The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a 6-2 start, and their three-year, $37.75 million investment is a big reason why.
