Giants running back Saquon Barkley is an athletic beast of a player, and his physique and skill set allow him to do things that few other NFL’ers can.

Barkley showed that in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, with his team attempting to take the lead late. They would have to earn it, though, as they were faced with a third-and-goal situation against the stout Cowboys defense, two yards away from the end zone.

There was no hole to run through, but Barkley wasn’t fazed. He took flight and leaped from the three-yard line, reaching out with the football and crossing the plane for the go-ahead touchdown.
