The latest illustration of how fast things can change in the NFL comes in the form of All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley. Only two Super Bowls ago, it was unimaginable that Barkley would go from being the face of the New York Giants to playing for the Philadelphia Eagles -- much less leading them to another Super Bowl.

The last time the Eagles played in the Super Bowl, Saquon Barkley was rooting against them. Barkley, a member of the New York Giants at the time, harbored a bit of resentment toward the team that knocked his squad out of the playoffs in the divisional round.

Tom Brady was just stating the obvious. As Saquon Barkley exploded for three touchdowns in Philadelphia’s NFC Championship win Sunday over the Commanders, Fox’s lead NFL analyst jabbed the Giants for letting their now-former running back leave in free agency.
