Few anticipated that Saquon Barkley, a running back for the Philadelphia Eagles, would have a significant impact on his new team in his first season following his departure from the New York Giants. Barkley helped the Eagles win a Lombardi Trophy in 2024, which was by far the best season of his NFL career.
Throughout the season, he appeared to be the NFL’s top running back. Barkley didn’t appear clean at all, and he probably still has a lot of energy left. He was listed among the Top 100 players prior to the 2024 season while playing with the Giants, but following his debut season with the Eagles, he has a chance to be placed much higher.
Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles has a chance to start the 2025 NFL season as the top-ranked player.
According to the players’ vote at the start of the 2025 NFL season, a number of candidates were selected by Grant Gordon, a digital content editor for nfl.com, as the top NFL player. Prior to the 2024 NFL season, quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs was chosen as the league’s best player.
In a perfect world, Barkley would start the 2025 NFL season as the top-ranked player. Regarding the Eagles’ great running back, Gordon stated,
Barkley’s leap from number 86 to number one would be incredible. If he didn’t make the Top 5, it would be shocking. He averaged 5.8 yards per run and ran for 2,005 yards on 345 carries and 13 touchdowns in the 2024 season with Philadelphia. In addition, Barkley averaged 8.4 yards per reception while catching 33 receptions for 278 yards and two scores.
Philadelphia must hope he can return to full health in the backfield for the 2025 NFL season. Without him, the offensive might appear quite different. Nonetheless, the Eagles’ standout running back should be vying for the top slot among the NFL’s Top 100 players.
