It’s been a year to remember for Saquon Barkley

It’s been a wild year for Barkley who signed a three-year contract with the Eagles in March of 2024. He went on to have the best season of his career, rushing for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns, and helped the Eagles win their second Super Bowl since the 2017 season.

Shortly after the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory, Barkley talked about how the team could become a dynasty. “Yeah, I said after the game, why can’t our dynasty start now?” Barkley told On3 and other media members at a Super Bowl celebration event at Raising Cane’s outside of Philadelphia. “Probably had a little bit of champagne and other stuff in my system at the time, but you really can’t focus on that. You just got to enjoy the moment. It’s hard to win one. And you take it in, you enjoy the moment and you start all over.”

“…So you take it in, you cherish it, you enjoy it, you appreciate the fans, but the dynasty thing, you can’t really get caught up in that. The way you do that is by putting the work in, and there’s a reason why we won, it’s just not an accident, so we got to try to do it all over again next year.”
