Bigsby is the perfect backup to Saquon Barkley, averaging 5.9 yards per carry in limited duty last year with the ability to go into a game cold and make plays off the bench.

The key stat: Bigsby had 63 carries last year but 13 of them—over 20 percent—went for at least 10 yards, compared to Barkley's 10-yard gains on 28 of 280 carries (exactly 10 percent). He is going into the final year of his four-year deal signed with Jacksonville in 2023. The Eagles acquired him for a 5th-round pick.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026

The offense aims to be as multiple and flexible as possible formationally.NegativeUsageAug 1, 2026
