Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley has been putting together quite the highlight reel in his first season in Philly.

In Sunday’s home matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Barkley made a few Jags defenders look silly before pulling off an otherworldly hurdle move early in the second quarter.

Barkley caught a pass from Jalen Hurts near midfield and juked out two defenders with a nifty spin move. He then showed off his athleticism by hurdling Jaguars defensive back Jarrian Jones backwards for a total of a 15-yard gain on the play.

Take a look at Barkley’s incredible reverse hurdle:

Even teammate A.J. Brown couldn't believe his eyes. Barkley, who already has 68 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown, had NFL fans out of their seats with his latest jaw-dropping highlight.
