Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley seemingly invented a new football move with a stunning backward hurdle over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender on Sunday. Call it 'The Saquon.' Barkley caught a pass in the second quarter on Nov. 3, spun around a defender and had his back turned to Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones. He then hurdled backward over Jones for a move Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni called 'the best play I've ever seen.
It was unbelievable, and the way the crowd — when I looked up, like I thought I saw what I saw. As a coach you’re looking at the line sometimes, looking at the secondary, looking at the defense. And so, I thought I saw it, but when I looked up at the big screen and the crowd reacted to it, it was unbelievable. I can’t say enough about how athletic he is.” The move was so mind-blowing it even had other NFL players buzzing.
