Kansas City star defensive lineman Chris Jones and linebacker Nick Bolton have plenty of respect for Saquon Barkley, the Eagles running back they’ll have to stop to win a third straight Super Bowl on Sunday.
“He can outrun you, he can run you over, he’s got many schematics to his game,” Jones said. “It’s not just one thing that he does. He’s so athletic, can jump over you, he can outrun your fastest safety. Just so many challenges with Saquon.”
“When Saquon Barkley gets outside the pocket and gets the ball in space, it’s gonna take a lot of guys to tackle him in space and get him down,” Bolton said. “He’s a special player and has been doing this all year. He’s the best running back in this league for a reason.”
