Saquon Barkley eyes another Offensive Player of the Year award as the team’s revamped under-center run scheme opens lanes. Zack Baun’s elite linebacker play puts him squarely in the Defensive Player of the Year race, while protectors Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata battle for top offensive line honors.
