Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley is coming off an unforgettable NFL season. Less than a year after he decided to leave the New York Giants and take his talents to the Eagles, Barkley won a Super Bowl while putting together his best rushing season in his pro career.
In his first season with the Eagles in 2024, Barkley, who signed a three-year $37.75 million contract with Philly in March of 2024, rushed for a career-high 2,005 yards to go along with 13 touchdowns on 345 carries.
The 28-year-old Barkley remains a big threat to the rest of the NFL, perhaps to the chagrin of the Giants, who opted to let him go instead of meeting his asking price.
Although he has already won a Super Bowl, the thirst for more success is definitely still there for Barkley, who is keeping himself in shape in the offseason.
Philadelphia Eagles’ Barkley shows unreal strength in the gym
Barkley is easily one of the best running backs of his generation, and pound-for-pound, is one of the strongest in the league today.
Just take a look at this video posted by the Eagles showing the former Penn State Nittany Lions star lifting serious weight during a workout.
That display of power has fans buzzing.
“🔥🔥 Crazy strong, I think that’s 585….linemen strength on a runningback!”
“He crushed it in some regular sneaks too lol 🫡💪”
“And this is why no one can jump over somebody backwards… except this guy”
“That type of strength with that speed 😮”
“He said the last lifting video doesn’t mean squat without Saquan in it!”
“I would like to see him compete in a powerlifting meet when he retires ahha”
