Saquon Barkley came into Monday Night Football with the heart of a Black Mamba.

During the game against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field, the broadcast showed Barkley paying tribute to Kobe Bryant by rocking Mamba earrings.

The Philadelphia Eagles running back has already reached a milestone midway through the first quarter against the Washington Commanders Thursday night in Philadelphia.

On the Eagles’ second possession, Barkley broke the 1,000-yard mark on an 8-yard run on first down.

With his 1,000 yards, Saquon Barkley and LeSean McCoy in 2011 are the only Eagles to reach that mark in Game 10.

Signing Saquon Barkley Changed Everything For The Eagles

The New York Giants didn’t want Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, so he decided to take his talents to Philly.

With a massive chip on his shoulder, he has been everything on offense for the team.

For the season, he’s racked up 171 carries for 991 rushing yards (second in the NFL) and six touchdowns.

Barkley is even more dangerous in the passing game, as he’s made 26 catches for 158 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

His spectacular play has helped to carry the Eagles for much of the season.

On Sunday, the Philladelphia Eagles defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-23, However, the biggest story of the game comes from running back Saquon Barkley who pulled off the craziest move and totally embarrassed the Jaguars defense.

On a short reception Barkley juked out one defender, spun out of another tackle until doing a reverse hurdle, going right over cornerback Jarrian Jones.

The move was so impressive, that players at all levels are now trying to recreate the already infamous reverse huddle.

Recently in a high school football game one player was filmed miserably failing.

In what looked like a punt return, the runner made a nice juke at the beginning and after running about another 10 yards, he attempted to go airborne while spinning backwards.

Unfortunately for him the defenders used that momentum against him and sent him spinning around like a helicopter until eventually getting thrown to the ground.

You have to hope that the whole sequence just seems a lot more painful than it was, because if not there was certain to be some sort of major injury.

It also just goes to show that NFL players, and especially Barkley are just on a whole different level and there’s a reason they get paid millions of dollars to do what they do.

The Eagles Made A Great Decision Giving Saquon Barkley That Big Contract

In recent years, many NFL teams have gone away from giving running backs big contracts, as it is believed to be one of the most replaceable positions in the league.

However, the Eagles certainly don’t regret signing Barkley to his three-year $37.5 million deal.

Currently he ranks second in rushing yards at 925 and second in rushing touchdowns at eight. However his 115.6 rushing yards per game lead the league.

He also has 146 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns to add to his already impressive season.
