Ask his trainer, a former NFL scout or countless media outlets — Saquon Barkley is a generational talent.
Based on pre-draft measurables, he’s faster than LaDainian Tomlinson, more agile than Adrian Peterson and stronger than David Johnson. But we wanted to go more in-depth than that — we wanted to know how Barkley stacks up physically with all of this century’s top running backs.
Specifically, we compared Barkley to every running back since 2000 who led the league in yards from scrimmage. We wanted to see how their NFL Combine results compared to Barkley’s.
