“I mean, yes, it took seven years to get here: some ups and downs, some injuries,” he said, through Pro Football Talk. “But coming here and being part of this team, I remember the first time I was in the group, and looked to my left and looked to my right and I could see all the professional players and all the first ones in the list and in the offensive .
“The defense, I am not going to lie, I did not know that we would have the defense number 1. It makes sense now because with all the talent we had, they gave us the hell in practice in the camp. But it is a team effort, so only Year 1, why not?

Barkley established the record of most yards by land in a single season by counting the statistics of the regular season and the postseason. He had 57 yards in the victory with 2,504 yards per total land, exceeding the brand established in the 1998 season for the Legend of the Denver Broncos, Terrell Davis.
Both runners ended the season with the Lombardi trophy in their hands.
“Hell of a year, right? I couldn’t do it without the greats of the greats, all in this team. I simply appreciate them, the entire organization of the Eagles,” Barkley said. “From me being a newcomer, welcoming me with open arms and helping to generate confidence in me too. That was definitely useful.

“It was a year a year, but all numbers and statistics or records are great, but it is best to be able to sustain that Lombardi trophy.”
