When Saquon Barkley entered free agency last offseason after the New York Giants chose not to re-sign him, joining the Philadelphia Eagles was what he describes as a "no-brainer."
Born in New York, Barkley moved to Pennsylvania during his childhood and attended high school just over an hour outside of Philadelphia. Barkley then went to college at Penn State, adding to his already deep ties to the state of Pennsylvania. Along with the location, Barkley would join a talented team with a sturdy organization and front office leading the way.
