Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby showed promise during the 2025 season, averaging 5.9 yards per carry over 58 attempts, including 344 yards and two touchdowns. Despite this, his workload diminished significantly after Week 11, receiving just eight carries in meaningful games, while the Eagles continued to lean heavily on Saquon Barkley. Analysts are advocating for Bigsby to receive more playing time in the upcoming season to better utilize his explosive running style alongside Barkley, particularly with the Eagles entering training camp later this month.
