Saquon Barkley hates joint practices

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley expressed his dislike for joint practices, stating that they often result in players losing focus on improving. Barkley, after a joint practice with the Patriots, said joint practices breed immaturity and ego-driven behavior, causing more harm than good. He emphasized the need for players to maintain focus and professionalism, even amid the physicality of the game.

Barkley acknowledged his own tendency to be a "troublemaker" but said he had done a good job in the previous session. He also suggested that players should have the option to walk away from such practices if they feel they're not benefiting.
