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.

Dickerson needed 15 games to pass Simpson's record. Simpson needed all 14 games to pass Brown's record of 1,863 (set in 1963), rushing for 200 yards in the regular season finale (Simpson entered the day just 60 yards shy of Brown).

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.
