After transporting their team to the playoffs, Saquon Barkley and Pat Surtain II were named the best players on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball respectively.
Runing Back signed a three-year deal with Eagles during the high season after their New York Giants divisional rival chose to let him go, and it’s been a nightmare for Big Blue and a dream for the birds.
Barkley became the ninth person to hurry in 2,000 meters in a single season, and if he hadn’t been sitting in week 18, he would probably have the record.

Although this is strictly a regular seasonal price, Barkley is 30 meters away from setting the record for most rushing yards in one season, including playoffs. In 19 games played this season, including the post -season, Barkley has rushed into 2,447 yards and 18 touchdowns, five of which have come in his last two matches.
Out of his 19 played matches he is hurried on 100-Plus 12 times and has darkened the 200-yard mark twice.
This is the first time a running back has won the award in back-to-back seasons since 2005 and 2006, when Shaun Alexander and Ladanian Tomlinson won hardware respectively.
Surtain became the first defensive back to win the award since Stephon Gilmore in 2019 after locking top recipients all season long. SurTain pick four passports and returned them to an NFL-high 132 yards. He made his third consecutive Pro Bowl and was named a first-team all-pro for the second time in three seasons.
