NFL legend Eric Dickerson was honest in his interview about Saquon Barkley getting close to breaking his record for the highest rushing yards in a single season. Barkley is having a remarkable season in 2024 and only needs 268 yards to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record.
Dickerson achieved the record in 1984 and has held it for 40 years. He recorded 2,105 yards in a single season while playing for the Los Angeles Rams. Saquon Barkley is close to breaking the record as the season concludes.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dickerson said he did not want Barkley to break his record.
"I don’t think he’ll break it," he said. "But if he breaks it, he breaks it. Do I want him to break it? Absolutely not. I don’t pull no punches on that. But I’m not whining about it. He had 17 games to do it? Hey, football is football. That’s the way I look at it. If he’s fortunate to get over 2,000 yards and get the record, it’s a great record to have"
