The Eagles running back’s 2,000-yard season earns him a spot on Time’s annual list.
Saquon Barkley was named to Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in Sports for 2026, following a 1,140-yard rushing season in his first year with Philadelphia. The 29-year-old running back, nine years into his NFL career, delivered 280 carries for 7 touchdowns across 16 games.
The accolade reflects Barkley’s impact both on the field and beyond, though Time did not detail the specific criteria for the honor. His 2025 campaign marked a significant chapter in his Philadelphia tenure after joining the Eagles in free agency.
