Saquon Barkley is not human.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ star running back was back on the field Sunday as the team took on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In the first half, he had fans at Lincoln Financial Field going nuts after he created a move that had never been seen before.
Saquon Barkley first spun out of being tackled, and as his momentum took him backward, he decided to hurdle a guy.
He did it while backward in the air.
The Philadelphia Eagles got off to a fast start in their home tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 20-yard strike from Jalen Hurts to Barkley in the opening quarter.
A few plays later, Hurts dropped back and floated one down the right sideline, hitting Saquon Barkley in stride for the score.
This was huge for the team since it marked the first first-quarter points for the Eagles all season.
They were the only team in the league that had failed to score in the opening frame.
Saquon Barkley Has Been Everything For The Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley has been everything and more for the Eagles.
The former New York Giants running back agreed to a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the team over the offseason.
Barkley entered the day ranked second in rushing yards with 766 yards and yards per game (109.4) with five touchdowns.
He also has two receiving touchdowns.
He is a huge reason why the team is 5-2.
