Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley spoke with FOX Sports' Peter Schrager, reflecting on his journey to the championship game. While the pre-game spectacle wasn't something he specifically imagined, Barkley emphasized that playing in the Super Bowl itself has always been a driving force.
This aspiration, he explained, was a key factor in his decision to join the Eagles after the New York Giants allowed him to explore free agency. The move paid off significantly, as Barkley came remarkably close to breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, amassing 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns during the regular season.
Barkley acknowledges the collective effort required for the team's success, emphasizing the importance of everyone contributing to achieve their ultimate goal. He expresses gratitude for the opportunity to be in this position but underscores that reaching the Super Bowl is just one step. The true objective, he affirms, is to win it all.
Looking ahead to game day, Barkley anticipates an incredible experience when he emerges from the tunnel, a moment he's envisioned since childhood. However, he reiterates that the dream extends beyond mere participation. Winning the Super Bowl remains the ultimate aspiration, and he believes the Eagles have the capability to achieve it.
