A running back buying gifts for his offensive linemen is always a nice gesture. But after Saquon Barkley's blockers flattened defenders to the tune of a record 2,504 rushing yards (incl. playoffs), Barkley went above and beyond.
NBC Sports Philadelphia's John Clark reports that the Eagles' superstar RB bought each lineman an entire truck full of Bud Light.
Saquon Barkley with @budlight has gifted each of his offensive linemen a truckload of Bud Light.
Each lineman gets a truck of beer. Bud Light tomorrow for parade day will be Bird Light

Barkley continues to prove that he is not just an incredible player, but also an incredible teammate. After breaking the Birds' single-season rushing record in December, for example, he was quick to redirect attention to the line. "Gotta give credit to the guys up front. They've made my job a lot easier so far this year. Hopefully, it will continue."
Narrator: It did continue. It continued all the way through a Super Bowl victory. And now the "guys up front" will be fully prepared for the Valentine's Day celebration in Philadelphia.
