As the Eagles get ready for their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Rams, A.J. Brown admitted that he recently had a change of heart for MVP.
The wide receiver explained that he loves Derrick Henry, but after Saquon Barkley pulled off the reverse hurdle, Brown had to re-evaluate his pick.
“I think [Saquon Barkley is] the best in the world, and I love Derrick [Henry].”

Brown played with Henry when they were both with the Tennessee Titans, so there’s nothing but love in this recent decision, but Barkley has taken the top spot. The Eagles WR also admitted that he spoke to head coach Nick Sirianni about this a few weeks ago, and said that Henry was still the best running back he’d ever played with — but then Barkley jumped over somebody backward and it made Brown rethink things.
“[Saquon Barkley is] incredible, man. You know, he’s definitely touched by God, man. And he works hard, so I had to give him that nod.”
He isn’t looking too far ahead, but noted that the Eagles-Ravens game in Week 13 should be a good show with both Henry and Barkley on the field.
