Saquon: I was drug tested after reverse hurdle game
It didn't take long for Saquon Barkley to hear from the NFL following his viral reverse hurdle in the Philadelphia Eagles' 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
"I got drug tested right after the game," the Eagles running back said on the latest episode of the "Air It Out" podcast.
Barkley pulled off the move in the second quarter, hurdling over Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones while facing backward. He finished with 27 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown and added three receptions for 40 yards and another score.
When asked what he plans to call the move, Barkley revealed he has no intention of pulling it off again.
"When you think about, (Odell Beckham) got the catch, like O can make the one-handed catch multiple times. Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar) hook shot," Barkley said. "First of all, I'm not saying my play is on that level, but I can't really give this a name because I have no intentions to ever do that again. If it happens again, it happens, but I'm never going to a game like, 'Let's do the Barkley or let's do this or let's do that.'"
Barkley and the Eagles will look to extend their winning streak to five games when they face the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 10.
