Saquon Barkley has shown for years that he is one of the most exceptional players in the backfield, but the Philadelphia Eagles running back continues to do things we've never seen before.

His most recent ridiculous highlight came in the Eagles' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, when Barkley fended off a tackle and used a spin move to avoid another hit before completing a reverse hurdle to gain a few more yards.

It's safe to say NFL fans were impressed when Barkley appeared to have eyes in the back of his head.

I'd like to praise Saquon Barkley for this insane talent, but I actually think it's the Kelly Greens that make it look sooooo good.

Saquon just cleared a reverse hurdle lol

Rodger Sherman @Rodger

Saquon Barkley just threw a guy backwards, and I really didn't think that was physically possible

Kevin @KevOnStage

Saquon Barkley just threw someone backwards. I don't think I've ever seen that in my life.

A reverse hurdle run by Saquon Barkley might be the coolest move I've ever seen.

Barkley set the tone for the type of season he would have in his first game with the Eagles when he rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns. He hasn't looked back since.

The seventh-year running back entered Sunday's matchup with 766 rushing yards and five touchdowns, with his rushing yards being the second-most in the league only behind Derrick Henry.

He is on pace to set career highs in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns as he played behind perhaps the best offensive line he has faced so far in his career.

His outstanding play has given the Eagles a 5-2 start as they hope to return to the Super Bowl after a first-round playoff exit last year.

If Barkley can continue to make jaw-dropping plays like he did on Sunday, a Super Bowl win for Philadelphia certainly wouldn't be out of the question.
