Eagles players react to Saquon Barkley’s superhuman obstruction against the Jaguars

Saquon Barkley amazed NFL fans when he avoided a tackle against the Jacksonville Jaguars by clearing an incredible and unique reverse hurdle that saw him leap over the defender before he was ultimately brought down.

After the game, which the Eagles won 28-23, head coach Nick Sirianni, as well as many of Barkley’s teammates, expressed disbelief at his mind-blowing moves on the ground.

“It was the best game I’ve ever seen,” Sirianni said at the postgame press conference. “What I think is so cool is kids will be all over the country and all over Philadelphia… trying to make this play, talking about this play and they like to imitate this play by playing backyard football, tiny football . I won’t be able to do this.”

“I have never seen a man do this in my life. I don’t even know how you plan this in your head. I don’t even know what you think about this. I’ve never seen a man jump. so tall for his weight and size, it was just incredible, probably one of the best plays I’ve seen in my life,” safety Sydney Brown said.

“It’s crazy, I’ve never seen anything like this,” DeVonta Smith added.

On the play in question, Barkley evaded a Devin Lloyd tackle with a devastating spin. In an instant, with his back turned to the next defender, Barkley was up and clearing an incoming tackle from Jarrian Jones.

NFL fans expressed their surprise at Barkley’s move, but seeing his teammates ignite the run with such excitement shows just how impressive and difficult the hurdle really was.
