NFL Star Defends Teammate After Viral Video Criticism

Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown is standing up for his new teammate, Saquon Barkley, following the release of viral videos from the New York Giants' Hard Knocks debut.

The videos, which have amassed over 4 million views on multiple pages, have sparked extensive conversation among players and fans alike.

In one particularly notable clip, Giants General Manager Joe Schoen discussed with NFL legend Frank Gore how data indicates a decline in running backs' performance after age 27.

Barkley, who turned 27 in February, was clearly the subject of this conversation, raising questions about the Giants' decision-making process regarding his future with the team.

Brown took to social media to express his disapproval of the video. "The Saquon video fired me up and it wasn’t even about me. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure you get yours fam!"

Brown's comment highlights the solidarity and support among players, particularly when a teammate's reputation is at stake.

Saquon Barkley's unexpected signing with the Philadelphia Eagles after six years with the Giants became a significant offseason talking point.

He signed a three-year, $37.75 million deal with the Eagles in March, aiming to rejuvenate his career behind an offensive line in Philadelphia which many consider elite.

The viral videos have brought the debate about Barkley's abilities and future into the spotlight, fueling anticipation for the upcoming season.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the Giants-Eagles clash in New York for Barkley's homecoming game on October 20, Week 7, where he will have a chance to demonstrate his worth.
