Last year, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley set the NFL's record for combined rushing yards in the regular season and postseason to help the franchise win its second Super Bowl title.
This offseason, Barkley got a boost in his paycheck , was named to the "Madden NFL 26" cover and won an ESPY for being named the NFL's top player.
