· “I said it and I still believe it: I think that we’re one of the best football teams to ever play…Give me your best team and I’ll take us.” – Saquon Barkley on the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles
· “It changed me. It hurt, but I wouldn’t be where I am and we wouldn’t be champions if it didn’t happen.” – Jalen Hurts on the loss in Super Bowl LVII
· “In my situation, I could have gone one of two ways. I could have continued to be a special teamer; probably have a 10-year career playing special teams.
