Saquon Barkley’s reverse hurdle against the Jaguars has sparked widespread disbelief among NFL fans

Saquon Barkley added another standout play on Sunday to the highlight of his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The seven-year veteran running back turned what could have been an everyday 14-yard reception into a series to remember in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Barkley picked off the pass and unleashed a nasty spin move on Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd as he spun upfield before leaping for a ridiculous backwards, no-look hurdle over Jags cornerback Jarrian Jones.

In case the description doesn’t do the piece justice, the slow-motion replay captured the jaw-dropping moment, giving Barkley yet another breathtaking piece to boast among a host of them this season. Barkley signed with the Eagles in free agency this spring after six seasons with the New York Giants.

Barkley’s 180 degree obstacle quickly went viral as reactions poured in on social media, with many fans struggling to understand what they had just seen.
