Eric Dickerson recently revealed that he spoke with Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquan Barkley about the stud RB joining the exclusive 2,000 rushing yards club. Dickerson has the most rushing yards all-time in a season,

Barkley didn't get another chance at topping 2,105 rushing yards, but he did match Dickerson's historic 1984 season in another area.

Dickerson's mindset is the same as Barkley's at this point. In 1984, the Los Angeles Rams star lost in the first round of the playoffs to the New York Giants. His record, while special, did not include a Super Bowl ring.

Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's previous rushing yards record in 1984, almost a decade after the former Heisman Trophy winner set his mark. Now, 40 years after Dickerson's incredible feat, Barkley has the chance to make his own history... and hopefully the Eagles give him that chance.

Some former NFL players are happy to see their records get broken by players from the new generation. Eric Dickerson is not of the same mindset.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will likely not play in the team’s final game of the season, meaning Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record will remain safe.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said running back Saquon Barkley 'probably' won't play Sunday, which would leave ex-Rams star Eric Dickerson's 2,105-rushing yard record intact.
