Right now, Saquon Barkley is currently one of the two in the Nfl. With the Baltimore Ravens, Derrick Henry, Barkley is the only other active ball carrier with a 2000 yards season.
Barkley’s great success occurred four years after Henry’s. It was the first time that Philadelphia Eagles star has reached this level. Consequently, he enters a new season with many kilometers on him of his last round.
We could assume that Barkley could reach out to Henry or to one of the other 2K rushers in the past to get advice on how to approach the year of follow -up, but the Eagles star decided to trust his own team of behind the scenes.
“We (Henry and Barkley) are still in touch here and there on social networks, but I haven’t really contacted him or any of the guys who rushed for 2000 to see what they did for their bodies for the following year,” Barkley told journalists on Wednesday.
“In a way I have a big team here, whether it be my team, within the organization, and in the building, or outside this building, and that I follow the match plan that they have mapped this offseason for me. I will continue to follow this match plan throughout the season.”

During the Barkley race with the New York Giants, he took many races year after year. In six seasons, he exceeded more than 200 litters four times. With the Eagles, he not only went a lot more than 300 races, but he also carried out everything Nfl With 345 rushes.
It is difficult to blame the Eagles for having put the kilometers on Barkley, since it was on average 5.8 yards in career per race throughout the year. Its previous summit took place during its recruited season, while it has an average of five yards, going for more than 1,300 yards in 16 games in 2018.
When Henry exceeded the 2000 yards mark in 2020, he did it on 378 races in 16 games with the Tennessee Titans. Unfortunately, he only played in half of the Titans’ matches during the following year. A fracture of Jones during week 8 ended the Henry season suddenly. He finished the year with 937 yards in 219 races.
The good news is that Henry managed to bounce back in 2022 and beyond. Since its shortened season in 2021, Henry has exceeded 1,000 yards in each of the next three years, even leading the Nfl In total, behaves twice. Last year, he even teased a year of 2 km with 1,921 yards.
However, Barkley wants to keep his preparation for next year internally. Health will be the key to its success. Fortunately, it has been very well in this department since its link with the Eagles last year.
