Saquon Barkley highlights list of 6 Eagles selected to Pro Bowl

PHILADELPHIA – Saquon Barkley’s historic rushing season earned him his third Pro Bowl nod, while a trio of Eagles earned their first trip to the NFL’s February exhibition.

Barkley, 27, recently became the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards in a single season — just 100 yards short of the all-time record.

“This league isn’t the league without the fans,” Barkley told Eagles.com about the Pro Bowl recognition.

Breakout linebacker Zach Baun, second-year defensive tackle Jalen Carter and Jason Kelce’s replacement Cam Jurgens earned their first Pro Bowl appearances.

“It’s a big accomplishment, a huge accomplishment,” said Baun, who spent four years as a role player with the New Orleans Saints.

Barkley’s career season wouldn’t be possible without the protection of the Eagles’ offensive line, which is sending a total of three linemen to Orlando in February.

Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson join Jurgens to represent the Eagles’ offensive line in their sixth and third Pro Bowls.

This will be the third year the NFL Pro Bowl will feature skills competitions and a non-contact football game.
