In 2011, Matt Barkley completed a stellar season as USC's quarterback and finished in sixth place in voting for the Heisman Trophy.

Fast forward three years later and Barkley is entering his second season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

He's far from working with the first team. That role belongs to Nick Foles.

The second string job is likely going to Mark Sanchez.

Barkley will be battling G.J. Kinne for the third quarterback spot.

"I'm not worried," Barkley told CSNPhilly.com. "I'm just worried about what I can control, and that's taking every snap I do get and making the most of it."

A fourth-round pick last season, Barkley threw four interceptions and no touchdown passes.

He's unsure what will transpire this season. But he'll keep working like crazy to prove his mettle.

"Chip's (Kelly) told me that over and over again," Barkley told CSNPhilly.com. "I feel like I'm making the most of those opportunities out here and the ones I get in pregame, and I'll be fine. I did learn that last year, with that crazy rotation we had at quarterback, to not worry about the reps. You never know when you're going to get a chance and just be diligent and be ready not matter what your reps are."

Barkley will attempt to make the most of his reps. It's no different than last season.

"I don't think any day you can go in like that, thinking you do," Barkley told CSNPhilly.com. "Even Nick believes that. Never feel satisfied, never feel like your set. I never had that mentality at ‘SC either. So I'm going in and competing no matter what. I don't know what my position is now or what anybody's is down the road, long term. We'll see what happens. Right now, my focus just has to be on today."
