It is difficult to break long races in the NFL. You see it a lot in college, when the teams can spread it and take advantage of the lack of athletes through a defense. Among the pros, the defenders are too fast and good to let the runners regularly break long affected.
This is why the sequence of long affected by Saquon Barkley is so incredible.
No one can stop the star of the Philadelphia Eagles this season. In the NFC championship match, he did it again. The Eagles followed Washington 3-0 commanders when they got the ball for the first time. Their first game was a transfer to Barkley, which was not surprising.
It was not so surprising what happened next.
Barkley scanned on the left, turned from two bad attempts to tackle by the commanders, reduced it inside and disappeared. A game, a touch of 60 yards for Barkley.
Barkley went two for two on the next Eagles training. Philadelphia forced a turnover, had a short trip by car to the 4 yards line, then Barkley took another postponement in the goal area. He had two races for 64 yards and two scores. The score of 4 yards was also good, but it was the 60 yards that showed all the great skills of Barkley.
It is not supposed to look so simple, but Barkley did it all season. He is the favorite for the offensive player of the year of the NFL, MVP finalist and was also monster during the playoffs.
Breaking 60 yards is not easy. Barkley makes him look like that.
