The new Philadelphia running back was called “special” by Howie Roseman and the Eagles’ GM upped that ante by calling the former New York Giant star a Hall of Fame caliber talent, and person recently.
"It's hard to find difference-making players and people, and it's hard to find them for a cost," Roseman told Mad Dog Sports Radio. "Those guys, they go for a lot of money, and we felt like there was an opportunity to get one of those guys in Saquon and bring him to the team. We understand there's risk in every decision you make, but we don't think there's any risk on the talent..""We don't think there's any risk on the person.
When reminded of those comments by Eagles Today during his retirement press conference, Cox explained his mindset. “Saquon is a premier running back, first and foremost,” Moore said. “We're really excited about his ability to run the football. Obviously behind this offensive line, he's done a tremendous job. They have such cohesion and done a great job up front. He's going to be a great running back.”
