Last year, we said, “Barkley has a lot of catch-up to do regarding his initial Hall of Fame promise. A player injured that badly and early always struggles, and Barkley is no different.”
Barkley is different.
No ranked player jumped higher than Barkley, who we feared injuries would take out of a Hall of Fame conversation. Not only was he healthy on a new team (Philadelphia), but he is also a Super Bowl Champion and the defending Offensive Player of the Year. He also joined the 2,000-Yard Rushing Club, won his first Rushing Title (2,005), his second APY Title (2,283), and, along with Derrick Henry, brought back the Running Back.
At home in Philadelphia, Barkley’s only issues will be with injury, and another monster year will put him in the Hall of Fame hunt. We won’t bet against him again.
