Saquon Barkley Reacts to NFL Star’s Retirement Decision

The Philadelphia Eagles capped off one of the most dominant playoff runs with a Super Bowl victory in Saquon Barkley's first year with the organization.

Philadelphia finished the season with an 18-3 record, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

One of the Eagles' key contributors, Brandon Graham, made his return to the lineup in the Super Bowl after undergoing surgery to repair his tricep in an injury that occurred earlier in the season.

After earning his second Super Bowl ring, Graham officially hung up his cleats. Graham announced his retirement from the NFL after 15 seasons with the Eagles.

After announcing his retirement, the Eagles legend received a message from Saquon Barkley on social media.

"Incredible teammate, incredible person," Barkley said. "Congrats on an amazing career BG! Forever a Champion."
