Much like Christian McCaffrey going from Carolina to San Francisco or Derrick Henry swapping Tennessee for Baltimore, the switch from the Giants to the Eagles made a huge difference in Barkley's output. Barkley has always been a high-volume running back who draws heavy workloads from scrimmage, but with the Giants their poor overall offense tended to fall hard on Barkley, limiting his efficiency as a result. As it turns out, Barkley is a lot harder to tackle when he has an elite offensive line and dangerous passing game giving the defense something additional to worry about. Barkley's rushing average jumped from 3.9 in his last year with the Giants to 5.8 yards per carry in 2024. The jump was propelled by a sharp increase in big plays, as Barkley's carries of 20-plus and 40-plus yards respectively rose from seven and zero in 2023 to 17 and seven last year. It's likely not sustainable for Barkley to average a 40-plus carry every two or three weeks like he did in his first season with Philadelphia, but the conditions that made him so productive remain intact, as it will always be profoundly difficult for defenses to show a proper amount of respect to both Barkley and the Philadelphia wide receivers at the same time.
