In a season marked by change and adaptation, the Philadelphia Eagles have seen Saquon Barkley stepping into a leadership role alongside A.J. Brown, traditionally known as the team’s “enforcer.”
While Brown has always been vocal about addressing issues directly, Barkley’s influence has brought a new dimension to the team’s dynamics. His ability to lead by example on and off the field and address challenges head-on has complemented Brown’s approach.

“What really brought us together was me being the enforcer on offense. I’d say the stuff nobody else wanted to. Then Saquon came in and took some of that pressure off me. He started speaking up too, and we just clicked,” the wide receiver recently said.

Trouble in paradise
Recent tensions have arisen between A.J. Brown and Jalen, with the wide receiver expressing frustration over the team’s passing game. This led to speculation about a potential rift between the two.
However, Hurts quickly clarified that there were no personal issues, stating, “We’re good,” and emphasized that Brown’s comments were about the offense as a whole. Brown also reiterated that his remarks were not directed at Hurts but were aimed at improving the team’s overall performance.
As the Eagles push towards the playoffs, the combination of Brown’s straightforwardness and Barkley’s emerging leadership promises to be a significant advantage if things can be well with Jalen Hurts.
