Career path
Who is Barkley
Saquon Barkley was a consensus All-American and Paul Hornung Award winner at Penn State before becoming the second overall pick in 2018, then he justified that status by winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and a Pro Bowl selection. The American running back later moved to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he won a Super Bowl ring and, in 2024, added the Offensive Player of the Year award, first-team All-Pro recognition and the NFL rushing yards title. His career has mixed rushing with receiving; he has 8,356 rushing yards and a significant pass-catching output. That dual ability keeps him on the field for Philadelphia. He now plays for the Eagles as a running back, and his production on the ground and through the air explains his role.
