PHILADELPHIA \u2212 It wasn’t supposed to be this way, where the Eagles have their quarterback and running back leading a potential Super Bowl run, while the Giants could be on the verge of starting over with theirs.<\/p>\n
After all, the Eagles took their running back and quarterback in the second round \u2212 Miles Sanders in 2019 and Jalen Hurts in 2020, respectively \u2212 and the intention wasn’t for them to become franchise players. After all, the Eagles already had franchise QB Carson Wentz on the roster when they drafted Hurts.<\/p>\n

GIANT STEPS:<\/strong>How these 2 Delaware high school stars beat long odds to find roles in Giants’ playoff run<\/p>\n\n MORE REVENGE?<\/strong>Eagles’ James Bradberry has some thoughts on facing Giants after his release<\/p>\n The Giants, on the other hand, were fully expecting franchise cornerstones when they took running back Saquon Barkley No. 2 overall in 2018 and quarterback Daniel Jones No. 6 overalls in 2019.<\/p>\n That’s not to say Barkley has been a disappointment. After all, he has three 1,000-yard seasons, and is on pace to have the best season of his career with 1,055 yards so far this season.<\/p>\n Yet as the Eagles get ready to face the Giants on Sunday, it’s very possible that Hurts will be the only player remaining on either team next season after firmly establishing himself as the franchise QB with an MVP-caliber performance for the 11-1 Eagles.<\/p>\n
