Q&A: Eric Dickerson on Saquon Barkley pursuing his record: ‘I don’t think he’ll break it’

LA Times  

The NFL single-season rushing record has stood for 40 years, far longer than Saquon Barkley has been on this planet. If he’s fortunate to get over 2,000 yards and get the record, it’s a great record to have. He gets 17 games,” or, “We’re going to put a hex on him.” Any thoughts on Rams running back Kyren Williams? The Eagles’ Saquon Barkley runs past Rams safety Quentin Lake in November. If the record is up for grabs… A real team would be like, “Oh no, you ain’t gonna get that record on us.” But how ironic would it be for him to break the record on them, the team that let him go.
