Eagles fans soak up first look at Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley in action
Kyle Ross-USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia Eagles fans got their first look at quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley in action. 

It wasn't much, but fans loved every second of it. 

And you can see for yourself:

Barkley signed a hefty three-year, $37.75 million deal with the Eagles earlier this year and he's worth every penny. 

Before coming to Philly, the two-time Pro Bowler logged 5,211 career rushing yards and 35 touchdowns, plus another 2,100 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns through the air in six seasons with the New York Giants.

Now behind the best offensive line that he's ever played behind, Barkley should only continue to flourish and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is just as excited as fans. 

"There's risk in every decision you make, but we don't think there's any risk on the talent," Roseman said during a recent appearance on Mad Dog Sports Radio. "We don't think there's any risk on the person. And we also feel like maybe -- not that it wasn't anywhere else -- but we have a good situation here with us in Philly to kind of maximize him. I don't think there's anyone when he came out of the draft that didn't think he wasn't a Hall of Fame-caliber talent and person. He's still young, and we're really excited to have him."
