Running Back · Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley

No. 26 · 9th season

Saquon Barkley already made history. He's not ready to stop there.

The backward hurdle happened in a blink. A defender lunged, Barkley left the ground, flipped backward over him, and landed running. People who have watched football their whole lives said they had never seen anything like it.

Barkley has been one of the most electric runners in the league for years — a player who makes a stadium hold its breath on any given carry. The hurdle fit the résumé. But he's the one who seems least satisfied with it.

He wants more. Not more highlights — more of a body of work. The kind of career where the hurdle is a chapter, not the whole book.

That's a specific kind of ambition. It's one thing to do something no one has ever seen. It's another to look at it and feel like you're just getting started.
