Saquon Barkley is barely human. In the best possible way.
He ran for more than 2,000 yards in 16 regular season games this fall, then racked up back-to-back-to-back 100-yard performances in the playoffs to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl 59. That made him a legitimate MVP candidate and made the New York Giants look a little bit dumber for letting him leave in free agency.
The Kansas City Chiefs bottled him up in the 2025 Super Bowl. Barkley had just 57 rushing yards on 25 carries Sunday night. This did not matter. The Eagles sprinted out to a 34-0 lead and cruised to their second Super Bowl win in franchise history.
That led to a locker room celebration. And proof Barkley can crush (most of) a beer in under three seconds, courtesy of the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Matt Breen.

The form is a bit concerning and it seems there may be slightly more left in the can than the clinker Barkley quietly dumped out once he finished. Using the horizontal can method rather than the traditional vertical option may have sped along the beer OR helped conceal any remainder after he pulled it away. Still, there’s an argument to be made that no one has ever looked more jacked than Barkley while shotgunning a beer. This looked like something out of a Zack Snyder fever dream.
