Now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, Barkley made his mark this past season by leading the Eagles to their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history. Barkley was named Offensive Player of the Year and finished third in MVP voting after rushing for a league-leading 2,005 yards and punching in 13 touchdowns. After not being named in the NFLPA’s Top 50 Player Sales List in 2023-2024, he finds himself at the top of the list this time around thanks to his MVP caliber performance.
As a member of the Nittany Lions from 2015-2017, Barkley rushed for 3,843 yards and scored 51 total touchdowns across three seasons. He also finished 4th in voting for the Heisman Trophy in 2017 and was drafted 2nd overall to the New York Giants in the 2018 NFL Draft.
