Reflecting on Saquon Barkley’s Best Seasons and Predicting His Future.
With the 2024 NFL season approaching, I want to get this prediction out of the way before it all begins. Now that Saquon Barkley has moved to the Eagles, there’s a burning question: how will he perform?
Reflecting on Barkley’s Best Seasons.
Looking back at Barkley’s career, his rookie season in 2018 stands out. He rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. His versatility was on full display with 91 receptions for 721 yards and four touchdowns, totaling an impressive 2,028 scrimmage yards. This performance earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award and a Pro Bowl selection.
Fast forward to 2022, Barkley had a remarkable comeback season. He rushed for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns, with an average of 4.4 yards per carry. He added 338 receiving yards, totaling 1,650 scrimmage yards. His efforts were pivotal in leading the Giants to their first playoff appearance since 2016.
Predicting His 2024 Season.
While Barkley has had some incredible seasons, I don’t think he will match those numbers with the Eagles. Given that the Eagles will likely be cautious with his workload, especially early in the season, I predict a slow start. Some Giants fans might quickly label him as a disappointment, but that would be short-sighted.
As the season progresses, I believe Barkley will be utilized more strategically, particularly in critical moments. My prediction for his 2024 season with the Eagles is 900 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. It may not match his best years, but Barkley’s talent will still shine through when it matters most.
