Saquon Barkley reveals he took a drug test after a crazy hurdle in the Eagles' Week 9 win

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley completed one of the coolest moves of the NFL season so far on Sunday when he reverse hurdled over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender on the run.

Barkley shocked his teammates and NFL fans across the country with this great move. Unsurprisingly, the league immediately drug tested him.

“I got it (the drug test) right away,” Barkley continued Air It Out with AJ Greene and Justin Pugh. “I took a drug test right after the game.”

Unfortunately, fans shouldn't get used to this move from Barkley. The Eagles star admitted he doesn't plan on ever attempting the reverse hurdle again as it's not really the safest move.

“To be honest, I won’t try this again,” Barkley said. “It's not a safe game… I can't really put a name to it because I have no intention of ever doing it again. If it happens again, it happens.”

Never say never.

Barkley is having an outstanding first season in Philadelphia. In eight games, Barkley has passed for 925 yards and six touchdowns on 157 carries. He also caught 20 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
