Eagles' Saquon Barkley Has 'Hate' for Practice With Patriots
The Eagles superstar has a fair reason to be upset.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley expressed his dislike for joint practices with the New England Patriots and other NFL teams. In an interview after Thursday's practice against the Patriots, Barkley stated that "I hate joint practices, to be honest." He added that "More times than not nothing good comes out of it."
Barkley explained that while there is good work involved in joint practices, there is also pushing, shoving, and people making unsavory comments about teammates. He acknowledged that he himself can be a "troublemaker" at times but performed well during the week's practices. The issue of pushing and shoving is a common frustration among players during these joint practices as they compete for job opportunities.
Despite this, the experience remains an exciting time for two of the NFL's best teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
