The competitive nature remains, but the circumstances are different this offseason, with Barkley coming off a campaign in which he shattered his previous high in carries. You have your moments where you go in there and you grind, you push it," Barkley said. He finished the regular season with 345 carries -- 50 more than his previous high of 295 set in 2022 -- and ran the ball 91 more times in the playoffs. The natural concern is whether the effects of that level of usage will carry over as Barkley enters Year 8. "We got a lot of good work in, Saquon got a lot of good work in and yeah, I'm pleased with how the offseason program has gone."
