Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley pulled off a stunning juke on influencer and WWE Superstar Logan Paul during practice for the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic. The viral clip showed Barkley easily changing directions and leaving Paul scrambling to keep up, despite Paul's previous claims about his athletic capabilities being on par with NFL players.
