What Bigsby showed the Eagles last season was a taste of what could be to come: He averaged 5.9 yards per carry, with 344 yards and two touchdowns on 58 carries after the Eagles acquired him in a trade with Jacksonville. The combination of Saquon Barkley and Bigsby produced in a crammed-together sequence of weeks, and now that Bigsby has been here through an entire offseason, the vision for the running game – one that includes the rest of the jammed running back room with Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce, and Elijah Mitchell – is exciting, to say the least.
Bigsby is taking it all in. In a scheme that has the backs in more of a north-south style of running – a "downhill system," Bigsby called it – he is preparing for whatever the coaches have in mind for him.
Bring it on, whatever the role may be.
"I just come to work and do what I have to do every day," he said. "You know, whatever I got to do to help the team win, I step up and do my role. I feel like we're building. We're learning. We're getting better and better, especially since OTAs."
How does Bigsby fit into the offense? He has multi-dimensional skills and he's here to use them – running, receiving, pass pro. In his second season here, with a new number – jersey No. 8, pleasing to Bigsby after transitioning from No. 4 in Jacksonville to No. 37 with the Eagles in 2025 – Bigsby is ready to attack.
That's his style – slashing, taking the initiative, being the aggressor.
"Just working to get better in all parts of my game," Bigsby said. "We have a long way to go, a lot of work to put in and it feels good being here."
