Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's previous rushing yards record in 1984, almost a decade after the former Heisman Trophy winner set his mark. Now, 40 years after Dickerson's incredible feat, Barkley has the chance to make his own history... and hopefully the Eagles give him that chance.

On top of that even further, there is a chance that Eagles superstar running back Saquon Barkley can make history in Week 18. Barkley already became the ninth running back to join the 2,000-yard rushing club.

Some former NFL players are happy to see their records get broken by players from the new generation. Eric Dickerson is not of the same mindset.
