The NFL is back in session with Week 1 officially in the books at the next level. And it was a grand debut for former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley wiht his new team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Barley scored three touchdowns in his Eagles debut to help lead his new team to a victory over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil on Friday night.
Barkley lit up social media with his performance by becoming just the second player in franchise history to score three touchdowns in his Eagles debut. Barkley joined Terrell Owens in owning that distinction. In his entire time with the New York Giants, Barkley had two games in which he scored three touchdowns. It is safe to say things are off to a great start for Barkley in his new home.
Other former Nittany Lions were busy in action as the NFL got the year started off. Here are some of the best photos of former Nittany Lions around the NFL’s opening weekend.
