Saquon Barkley was one of several notable running backs to switch teams for the first time during the offseason when the former New York Giant signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. Recent history suggests Barkley and the other running backs who switched teams could struggle to match the production they had with their original franchises.

According to Sportradar, only three players have rushed for at least 1,200 yards with multiple teams since 2010: LeSean McCoy , DeMarco Murray and Christian McCaffrey .

“I think it’s taking care of your body, doing the things you need to do to get your body prepared, year in and year out, week in and week out and every single day, making sure that you’re at your best, can perform at your best creating good habits with eating healthy,” Henry said during his introductory news conference with the Ravens.
Most of today’s top ball carriers don’t stay with their original teams nearly that long. For instance, one of Henry’s replacements in Tennessee is Pollard, a 27-year-old with only 762 career carries since he was splitting time with Ezekiel Elliott for much of his Dallas tenure. “It was just so much uncertainty,” Jacobs said of his time in Las Vegas. “We were going through a lot of coaches, having certain things happen as a team, I just felt like it was like an emotional rollercoaster. So to be somewhere and be stable and be at a place where you feel like you’re wanted and things like that, I think it’s huge. It definitely brings that joy back to the game.”
