Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley did something so extraordinary on the football field that the NFL drug tested him right after the game. 

During the second quarter of the Eagles' 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Barkley caught a pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts, juked around one Jaguars' defender and spun away from another.

As Barkley was finishing his spin move and his back was turned toward a third Jaguars defender, he improbably hurdled over the defender while facing backward.

As for Barkley, he said his instincts took over when he made the move. 

"What really happened was, I was going to hit a double spin. I aborted it, so when I spun I went to spin again, and I just felt like, it’s probably going to take away from how cool the play is. I thought he was going low, so I thought it would be cool if I just jump up, but my body kind of took over," Barkley said via "Air it Out."

Barkley’s incredible hurdle stunned many people, including the NFL. 

"I got drug tested right after the game," Barkley said.

Barkley had a monster game in the Eagles' win over the Jaguars on Sunday, having 199 scrimmage yards while scoring two touchdowns.
