BREAKING: Saquon Barkley has officially been named the number one player in the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2025, according to an announcement made on Monday night. This recognition highlights Barkley’s extraordinary debut season with the Philadelphia Eagles, solidifying his status as one of the league’s elite.
Barkley, a former star at Penn State, made headlines after joining the Eagles as a free-agent signing from the New York Giants. His remarkable performance included rushing for over 2,000 yards during the regular season, making him just the ninth running back in NFL history to achieve this feat. Additionally, he earned the title of NFL Offensive Player of the Year and contributed significantly during the postseason, rushing for 499 yards and five touchdowns, leading the Eagles to victory in Super Bowl LIX.
In total, the Eagles boast eight players on this prestigious list, showcasing their dominance. Joining Barkley are notable teammates like quarterback Jalen Hurts at No. 19, offensive tackle Lane Johnson at No. 23, and linebacker Zack Baun at No. 26. The list further includes wide receiver A.J. Brown at No. 29, defensive tackle Jalen Carter at No. 43, cornerback Quinyon Mitchell at No. 49, defensive back Cooper DeJean at No. 60, and offensive tackle Jordan Mailata at No. 69.
As the Eagles prepare to defend their title, they face the Dallas Cowboys this Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field. Barkley, however, remains humble and focused, stating that while another 2,000-yard season isn’t his goal, winning a second Super Bowl is definitely on his radar.
With the anticipation building for the upcoming game, fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Barkley can replicate his stunning performance from last season. The Eagles’ season opener against the Cowboys marks a pivotal moment in their quest to maintain dominance in the NFL.
Stay tuned for more updates as the season unfolds and Barkley looks to lead the Eagles to another championship!
