Running back Saquon Barkley capped a remarkable first season in Philadelphia by becoming the first Eagles player to win The Associated Press' Offensive Player of the Year award during the NFL Honors on Thursday night in New Orleans.
Barkley became the ninth player to rush for over 2,000 yards rushing and finished 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson's all-time record. His average of 142.7 yards rushing per game ranked as the fourth-most over the last 15 seasons.
In the voting, Barkley received 35 of 50 first-place votes. The only other player to receive more than one first-place vote was Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who got 12.
