Saquon Barkley has made history by becoming the ninth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season, finishing with an impressive total of 2,504 rushing yards including playoffs.

In addition to his remarkable rushing yards, Barkley set a record for the most yards from scrimmage in NFL history, totaling 2,857 yards.

Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Barkley will benefit from the support of dual-threat quarterback Jalen Hurts and star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, which should help alleviate defensive pressure.

The continuity of the Eagles' offensive line is also expected to be advantageous for Barkley, as four of the five linemen are anticipated to return.

Historically, the eight previous players who rushed for over 2,000 yards in a season experienced a significant decline the following year, averaging around 1,200 rushing yards.

Despite Barkley's historic performance, no player in the 2,000-yard club has successfully repeated the feat in the subsequent season, which could make his chances slim.

At 27 years old, Barkley is among the older players to reach the 2,000-yard milestone, joining the ranks of Adrian Peterson and Barry Sanders, both of whom saw a drop in performance in their following seasons.

Derrick Henry stands out as the only recent 2,000-yard rusher to come close to that mark the following season, finishing with 1,921 rushing yards at age 30.

Barkley also made history in the postseason, becoming only the second player to achieve over 400 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in a single postseason, finishing with 499 playoff rushing yards.
