Saquon Barkley appeared on the cover of the prestigious magazine Sports Illustrated as part of the preview leading up to the 2025 season. During an interview with Greg Bishop, the star of the Philadelphia Eagles spoke about who he thinks is the best running back in the NFL and who is the most talented.
