Saquon Barkley is the first Philadelphia Eagle to appear on the cover of the Madden NFL video game since former quarterback Donovan McNabb in 2005.
Unlike McNabb, Barkley is not a homegrown Eagle drafted and brought up by the organization. To some, Barkley is a defector, as a former member of the rival New York Giants.
The decision by the Giants to let Barkley leave the organization has been criticized as one of the worst mistakes in recent history after the running back led the Eagles to the Super Bowl and broke the franchise rushing record.
"They made a real big mistake, and I think it's going to cost them a little bit," McNabb told Fox News Digital of the Giants.
