From the episode

There were 55 qualified running backs that had 80 or more attempts last year. He was ranked 48 in stuffed at the line of scrimmage. And honestly, that tells me he wants to hit the home run.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Barkley's explosiveness disappeared; ranked 48th in stuffed, 42nd in YAC.

Saquon Barkley's 2024 season was prolific with 17 20+ yard runs and 740+ rushing yards, but last year he did not show the same explosiveness. Among 55 qualified running backs with 80+ attempts, he ranked 48th in stuffed at the line of scrimmage and 48th in rushing success rate, 42nd in yards after contact per attempt—indicating defenders were getting bodies on him and he was not hitting home runs as effectively.
