Saquon Barkley is the best running back in the National Football League.
He had one of the greatest seasons this game has ever seen, topping the 2,500 rushing-yard mark to log the most rushing yards in a single season (regular season and playoffs).
Notably, he did that despite sitting out the season finale.
All the hard work, effort, and everything he went through with the New York Giants has finally paid off.
That’s why, as shown in a clip shared by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the Penn State product was having a blast during his team’s Super Bowl celebrations.

A shirtless Barkley was at the center of the dance floor, showing off his moves as his teammates joyfully watched.
Barkley turned 28 years old on the very same day he became a Super Bowl champion.
It doesn’t get much better than that, and that’s a celebration he will never forget.
He didn’t need much time playing for a contending team to reach the peak of his powers and win his first championship.
The Eagles’ top-notch offensive line consistently helped him discover running lanes in both directions, allowing him to make a significant number of spectacular plays during the season.
All in all, Barkley was the Eagles’ MVP during their championship run.
Hopefully, that will be a testament to how important running backs still are in this league, even if teams keep trying to make it seem as if they are expendable and easy to replace.
