Philadelphia Eagles superstar running back Saquon Barkley left fans awestruck with his agility as he reverse hurdled over a would-be tackler during Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
It happened in the first minute of the second quarter with the Eagles leading the Jaguars 7-0. With 3rd and 6 on the Jaguars 44-yard line, quarterback Jalen Hurts dropped back to pass and threw to Barkley in the flat. Barkley slipped past one tackler, spun to avoid another, then hurdled straight over a third with his back turned before finally being taken down on the 30-yard line for a 14 yard gain and a first down.

NFL players hurdling opponents are exciting to watch, and the Eagles fans could not believe what they saw. They were even more amazed when they saw the replay.
As of this writing, with five minutes remaining in the second quarter, Barkley has 10 rushes for 36 yards and a touchdown as the Eagles lead the Jaguars 10-0.
