Saquon Barkley’s 2024 season has been nothing short of remarkable. After a challenging few years with the New York Giants, the running back has found a new home with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he has reignited his career and become one of the NFL’s most dominant players once again. With 1,688 rushing yards through 14 games, Barkley is closing in on Eric Dickerson’s legendary single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, needing just 418 more yards to surpass it.
Recognizing Barkley’s incredible achievements, NFL legend Barry Sanders recently sent the Eagles' running back a signed jersey with a heartfelt message. On the jersey, Sanders wrote, “To Saquon. I love the fact that you showed everyone how valuable you really are,” acknowledging Barkley’s growth and resurgence in the league.
The gesture from Sanders, one of the most iconic running backs in NFL history, underscores the admiration for Barkley’s journey and the impact he has made this season. As Barkley continues to make history, it’s clear that his legacy in the NFL is just beginning.
