We also still want to see all the 92%ers live and in person at our show in Cincinnati on April 11th. Tickets available at Gobearcats.com/NewHeights
In this episode, we’ve got an incredible guest with us, the brand-new Philadelphia Eagle Saquon Barkley!
Saquon and the guys get into everything about his huge offseason signing with the Philadelphia Eagles, how he feels about Giants fans’ reaction, which Eagles have already welcomed him into the lockerroom, and if he can somehow get Jason out of retirement.
We also break down what it was like for Saquon to be back on campus at Penn State, how close he was to getting drafted by the Browns, how he feels about the current state of NFL running backs, if he thinks Jets Jake could get past the line of scrimmage, and how he feels about his inevitable weight room showdown with Jalen Hurts.
We will be back with more New Heights every Wednesday during the offseason so make sure you’re subscribed to our YouTube Channel and wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss a single episode and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok for all the best moments from the show.

Travis always acting like he ain’t an undercover eagle & Jason acting like he ain’t an undercover chief. 😂
-
Saquon came off as a really kind, fun, respectful and level headed athlete. Wish him and his family the best. Vibed well with Trav in the studio as well. Even think he was a bit surprised abt how Travis was in person. Great watch and listen.
-
am i the only one who’s finds Saquon’s voice so soothing, especially in that mic
-
This podcast is changing perceptions of American sports, and I believe will be the new standard we expect from all sports media. Guided in respect & mutual support. Humans > Stats. Saquon was unknown to me, now I will look for & cheer him on, all the best to him & his family 💕
-
It's really cool to learn how Saquon is such a knowledgable and respectful fan of the game.
-
I love this type of sports entertainment. I am sick of "experts" screaming about their opinions.
-
😂 Travis looking directly to camera and smiling while saying "oh yeah, you got to" about speaking stuff into existence.
-
Barkley came off so nice and knowledgeable. I felt so bad for him each time he had to stop and explain he wasn't trying to dis anyone. Hope he has a great year and find a great home with the Eagles.
-
“…Speaking stuff into existence…”. Travis: “Oh yeah, you got to!” And then the sly smile, nod and eyes ❤💀💀
-
I'm not even an Eagles fan, but I can't help but feel so much excitement for Saquon to be a part of a first-class organization and for the team to bounce back.
-
Watched this kid since Penn St. he is a special athlete, but more importantly, a special human being, you can hear it in his voice. Got sick when the gints picked him at #2. Can't wait to see him running up and down the field for the Eagles, stay healthy.
-
That little nod and smile to the camera at 7:25 after Saquon talks about “speaking things into existence”…we see you Trav! 😉
-
Barkley was a really good guest. He had a lot of interesting things to talk about. Enjoyed him. We are learning a lot about football and players from your show. Keep it up!
-
Great episode. I wasn't familiar with Saquon but the way he was portrayed by NY media didn't match how humble and smart he is during the interview.
-
7:22 Travis' face when Saquon talks about "speaking things into existence"
-
Travis with his cheeky nod to the camera...manifested his girl and another Superbowl win🤴
-
There's great chemistry between Saquon and the Kelce brothers.
-
First 5 mins in and him just appreciating the intro, says enough about his character and how tired he was of being around people who he didn’t feel like appreciated him.
-
"You don't have the heart that I do!" My new favorite Jason Kelse quote. Spoken like a true older brother. Respect.
-
Giants fan here. I couldn't get more excited when I learn Saquon was this episode's guest. I wish nothing but the best ti him and I'm so glad he's gone to an organization that will appreciate his talent. Thank you guys for having him.
