Before Saquon Barkley even ran the 40-yard dash Friday, one NFL Network analyst couldn’t help but sing a few bars of “Super Freak” while commenting on the athleticism of the former Penn State running back.
“He is a total freak,” said the network’s Mike Mayock, a former NFL player and current analyst. “And the best thing about it is he’s just as clean off the field as he is on the field.”
Barkley entered the NFL Combine with the hype of ESPN’s Todd McShay saying he was the best prospect since Adrian Peterson. And, despite all that, he still might have already surpassed the expectations set for him in Indianapolis.
