Saquon Barkley’s debut season with the Philadelphia Eagles was nothing short of spectacular.
Defenders found themselves in a nightmare situation against Barkley, who showcased his versatility by bulldozing through tackles, executing precise sidesteps, and even performing backward hurdles.
The nickname “SaQuads” has proven to be more than just clever wordplay; it represents his extraordinary strength.
Barkley captured attention once again on Tuesday when footage of his training session went viral, featuring him casually performing squats with an impressive amount of weight.
“Eagles superstar RB Saquon Barkley squatting well over 540 POUNDS with ease. 2K+ yard season incoming…” Dov Kleiman shared.

The video of Barkley completing multiple repetitions with such substantial weight quickly spread across social media platforms, leaving fans and fellow athletes amazed.
Some fans began making bold predictions about another 2,000-yard season, while others simply expressed their astonishment at his physical capabilities.

One fan humorously noted, “bro can squat his entire O-line,” while another took the opportunity to criticize his former team with, “Giants saw this and said ‘let’s let him test the market.'”

Barkley clearly takes his leg workouts seriously, and his Philadelphia Eagles teammates showed visible excitement over his strength demonstration.
If Philadelphia hopes to secure another Super Bowl championship and earn a visit to the White House with President Trump, it’ll be relying heavily on Barkley’s powerful lower body.
The league has good reason to fear the Philadelphia Eagles’ effective tush push play, especially now with Barkley providing the drive.
After joining Philadelphia through free agency, Barkley became just the ninth player in NFL history to exceed 2,000 rushing yards in a single season.
