Saquon Barkley Credits God for Career-Best Season: “I’ve Found My Faith”
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley believes that the incredible strides in his athletic career are intertwined with his new-found commitment to Christianity. He suggests that the remarkable success he’s experiencing on the field is a direct result of embracing his faith in God.
A recent conversation on the golf course with professional golfer Grant Horvat captured this sentiment perfectly. During their time between holes, Barkley asked Horvat if his strong belief played a central role in his life. Horvat confirmed his Christian faith, and when pressed about his own beliefs, Barkley explained that he had only recently become a Christian.
Barkley, who began his NFL career with the New York Giants before his current stint with the Eagles, celebrated a milestone season by leading the league in rushing yards during 2024—crossing the 2,000-yard mark for the first time. The football star sees no puzzle in these achievements; rather, he attributes his on-field success to the clarity and purpose he has found through his relationship with God.
In the course of their conversation, Horvat noted how transformative it can be to embrace one’s spiritual beliefs, especially during times when many seek direction in life. For Barkley, deepening his understanding of the Bible and supporting his journey with a mentor who is both a pastor and his agent confirmed that spiritual growth can coincide with professional advancement.
Reflecting on earlier remarks made before a major championship, Barkley has consistently given credit to his faith. He had spoken about how his dedication to spiritual practices not only lent meaning to his daily routines but also inspired his approach to the game.
For Barkley, continuing to learn about God and refining his relationship with Jesus remains a lifelong pursuit—a commitment he insists is as vital as any training regimen in his career.
