Saquon Barkley has ignited excitement among fans following his selection as the top player in the NFL’s Top 100 rankings for 2025. After an extraordinary season that saw him shatter records, fans are lauding him as potentially the best running back to ever play the game, reflecting their appreciation for his talent and tenacity.
Barkley’s recent performance has left a lasting impression, as he became only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season. His total of 2,504 rushing yards, coupled with 13 touchdowns, has solidified his status as a premier offensive weapon. This impressive feat not only contributed to the Philadelphia Eagles’ success but also earned him the highest paid running back title in the league.

This discussion highlights the ongoing struggle to fairly assess contributions across different positions.
