Saquon Barkley is widely recognized as one of the most explosive running backs in the NFL, but before making a name for himself with the Philadelphia Eagles, he was a standout student-athlete at Penn State.

The latest illustration of how fast things can change in the NFL comes in the form of All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley. Only two Super Bowls ago, it was unimaginable that Barkley would go from being the face of the New York Giants to playing for the Philadelphia Eagles-- much less leading them to another Super Bowl.

Barkley’s contract includes an $11,625,000 signing bonus, $26,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $12,583,333. In 2025, Barkley will earn a base salary of $1,170,000 and a signing bonus of $9,830,000, while carrying a cap hit of $6,561,000 and a dead cap value of $20,700,000.
