Star running back Saquon Barkley credits coach Nick Sirianni for not receiving enough recognition for his work. Barkley states: 'He doesn't get enough credit at all, in my opinion' and 'what he's doing, in real time, is legendary.' Barkley notes that while fans discuss his own 2,000-yard rushing season and quarterback Jalen Hurts extensively, Sirianni 'is like the last one to get brought up, and it doesn't really make sense.' Barkley also acknowledges that when he played for the rival New York Giants, he was 'highly annoyed' by Sirianni's coaching style, but now recognizes the coach's value: 'If you don't know Nick Sirianni, it's easy not to like Nick Sirianni.'
