Terrell Davis welcomes Saquon Barkley to 2,000-Yard Club

Saquon Barkley is the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards. Terrell Davis welcomed him to the 2k Club on social media.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley made NFL history on Sunday by rushing for 167 yards in Philly’s 41-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

That brought Barkley’s season-long rushing total to 2,005 yards, making him just the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season.

With one game remaining, Barkley is just 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season all-time rushing record (2,105 yards in 1984).
