Barkley Eyes Resurgence: 'Refreshing' New Eagles Offense Under Mannion

Saquon Barkley, entering his ninth NFL season with the Philadelphia Eagles, expressed significant excitement for the 2026 season under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Barkley described Mannion's system as 'refreshing' and unique compared to previous schemes he's played in. This optimism follows a dip in his 2025 production, where he rushed for 1,140 yards on 4.1 YPC, down from his 2024 Offensive Player of the Year campaign (2,005 yards, 5.8 YPC). The Eagles' offense struggled in 2025, finishing 24th in total offense, leading to the departure of the previous OC. Barkley anticipates a strong rebound with the new scheme.
