Saquon Barkley was on the “Air It Out” podcast where he revealed he was drug tested after his backwards hurdle on Sunday:

Of course he was drug tested by the NFL after hurdling a guy backwards. It would actually be more insane if he wasn’t drug tested. This guy did something that has never been done before on a field with the most athletic specimens in the entire world. They shouldn’t just drug test him, they should’ve called in NASA, the FBI, the Men in Black, everyone to run tests on him to see if he’s part alien. That’s how insane this play was.

You’d have to think there was enough HGH running through his veins to kill a bear:

What’re we calling that play? The Leap at the Linc? The Saquon Soar? The Barkley Bound? God I hate all of those. Someone in marketing come up with something for me. Get Don Draper on the line.

Saquon later talked about what was going through his mind during that play.

It sounds like it was almost a double spin move:

A double spin would’ve been cool, but a hurdle is how you become legendary. Thank god he saw the Jags defender go low and he decided to jump. Those fast twitch muscles are why my football career ended in the backyard. Just never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
