Giants QB Stands by Saquon Barkley as Eagles RB Stuns Jaguars with a Spectacular Leapfrog

There are moments in this beautiful sport called football, as evident when in Week 9 the Washington Redskins were going on offense with their quarterback when NFL fanatic, New York Giants, Saquon Barkley launched such a leapfrog jump into one of his defensive brethren to clear him in advance while spinning the ball before perfectly leaping in between with no opposition but on another day the whole ground burst into action in New York Giants. The Jacksonville Jaguars did not see it coming either, making the play even more awe-inspiring and perhaps embarrassingly spectacular.


Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito could not help himself but to post on his social media about his teammates' amazing leap. He shared a clip of Barkley's play on his Instagram story, captioning it with, "Your a sick individual." The gesture showed how appreciative DeVito was of Barkley's abilities and subtly strengthened the team's chemistry. It was a defining moment in the season for the move Barkley made, and all around, folks were nodding their heads in appreciation although the fans had first responded negatively.

Handle Fan Backlash with Grace


Even as Barkley showcases such inspiring play, it wasn't all praise for the running back that night. There have been plenty of complaints from critics about Barkley in earlier games, and when he went out there, boos were being heard through the stands. But Barkley's play quickly hushed his critics. His tenacity and perseverance on the field turned boos into cheers, qualities any football fan enjoys with a player.


Barkley's Modest Post-Game Reaction


In the post-game interview, Barkley was a modest man. Instead of celebrating his success, he gave credit to his religion, saying that he had the feeling God guided him. "I have got to give credit to God, man," Barkley said. He further expressed himself by saying, "I feel like God gave me the ability to play this position and gave me some instincts.". Sometimes you have to let go and just let God and your gut do its thing. He made sure to emphasize it with humility and spiritual gratefulness, which endeared him further to fans as well as teammates.


Endorsement from Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni


The play did not ring a bell only to fans and teammates but also, Philadelphia Eagles head coach, Nick Sirianni, felt the need to weigh his thoughts in on it since it was " cool.". What I think is so cool," Sirianni said, " is there are going to be kids all over the country and all over Philadelphia. trying to make that play and simulating that play as they play backyard football or Pee Wee football." Sirianni's words summarized Barkley's move and how it is inspiring younger athletes across the nation for moments like this.
