Saquon Barkley has elevated himself to one of the most searched athletes in the past 48 hours. That elevation came when he elevated into a 360 degree spin move over a Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Fans and media have lost their minds watching it. But how his Philadelphia Eagles teammates reacted live has now become viral.
The superstar running back performed his unreal double spin move when the Eagles needed a clutch play on a third and six down. His 14 yards gave the Eagles a much-needed first down along with entry into the Jacksonville Jaguars territory.
But more than the result it was how Saquon Barkley managed to rack up those numbers. His Eagles defensive teammates were lining up on the sideline to watch the play unfold. If their offense could not convert, they would have to get ready to go in after a punt.
But while watching the play develop, their live reactions showed how shocked they were when their star RB unlocked two spin moves, the second in the air to move the chains. The likes of defensive tackle Jordan Davis and safety Reed Blankenship losing it is evident in the first clip.
Along with them, tight end Dallas Goedert had his hands on his head watching what would probably be one of the plays of the year. They were joined by other teammates, either hyped up and running along the sidelines or trying to take in what they saw from the former Giants’ star.
Saquon Barkley’s move left defensive stars thinking Madden
Another clip the Philadelphia Eagles official X account shared showed a different angle. In this clip, it shows linebacker Nakobe Dean Mic’d up going through the emotions along with a few of his teammates while watching the replay on the big screen.
First fellow Georgia Bulldogs teammate star DT Jalen Carter came up to watch the replay and ended up in disbelief. Their ‘oohs and aahs’ went louder on every spin move Saquon Barkley performed in that drive. Dean then went on to say this to his teammates.
I ain’t never seen no s**t like that.

When Dean then walked over to fellow linebacker Zack Baun, his teammate asked him this.
Aye, what buttons do you have to press to do that s**t on Madden?

Dean agreed that Madden, the football video game, needs to introduce that move, as they have not seen this or attempted this in the game yet. Even quarterback Jalen Hurts was left laughing while on the field. As they all knew, this was going to be a highlight play to remember.
