Barkley insists that longevity is determined by how well one cares for one's body.
Former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley doesn’t want to hear that once a running back turns 27, it’s all downhill from there.. “Marcus Allen played until he was 36, 37 years old. Some of the greats that I admire and I look up and study, they played well into their 30s. Barry left at 29, 30, and he left in his prime. It’s what you put in, what you put in is what you get out. That’s any position.
In Barkley’s case, he has missed time with injuries in four of his six NFL seasons with lower body injuries, including the 2020 campaign when he tore his ACL two games into that season. While he fully recovered from that injury, some have questioned whether he has that special burst he showed coming out of Penn State for the 2018 NFL draft.
But that didn’t stop the Eagles from giving Barkley a three-year, $37.75 million contract, which placed him among the top five highest-paid at the running back position.
