Why the Eagles can cover
Running back Saquon Barkley joined Philadelphia in March as a free agent. He joins a potent offense but adds an element of explosiveness. Barkley owns the ability to make defenders miss in the open field while having secure hands as a pass-catcher. The Penn State product still has the speed to blow past defenders as well. In 2023, he finished with 962 rushing yards, 280 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns.
Tight end Dallas Goedert gives Hurts a security blank over the middle of the field. Goedert has a wide frame at 6-foot-5, 256 pounds, and has the athleticism to torch safeties and linebackers. The 29-year-old is able to attack from all three levels on the field. Last season, he notched 59 receptions for 592 yards and three touchdowns. He has gone over 500-plus receiving yards in five straight seasons. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why the Packers can cover
The Packers have contributors on all three levels on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive lineman Rashan Gary and Kenny Clark are the two anchors up front. Gary has constantly created pressure in the backfield and will bring down the quarterback. Last season, the Michigan product had 44 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, and nine sacks. Clark is another disruptive force along the interior. For the Packers in 2023, the UCLA product logged 44 tackles and a career-high 7.5 sacks.
Behind them is linebacker Quay Walker. The 2022 first-round pick uses his speed and football IQ to constantly find his way to the ball. Even though he missed three games last season, he still led the team in tackles. Over the last two seasons, Walker has finished with 239 total tackles, 10 pass breakups, four sacks, and three forced fumbles. He has recorded at least 118 tackles in consecutive seasons.
