Eagles add free agent RB who might somehow have bigger quads than Saquon Barkley | Sporting News

Saquon Barkley is literally nicknamed "Saquads" Barkley.

But the Eagles' record-setting running back might have competition in the quadriceps category after Philadelphia's newest free-agent signing.

The Eagles were reported Wednesday night to have come to a one-year agreement with former Packers RB AJ Dillon.

Dillon, who is listed at 6-feet tall, 247 pounds, is just a ridiculously muscular man for a running back.

It's been a bumpier road for Dillon after a promising start to his Green Bay career after being drafted out of Boston College.

Dillon missed the entire 2024 season with a neck injury.

Before that, Dillon ran for 613 yards and two touchdowns in 2023.

His yards per carry have declined every season he's been in the NFL, from 5.3 as a rookie in 2020 to 4.3, 4.1 and then 3.4 in 2023.

The Eagles were seeking a new backup after Kenneth Gainwell departed for the Steelers.

The Eagles also have Will Shipley in the running back room.

Shipley might have to start building up his quads if he wants to fit in with Barkley and Dillon.
