Saquon Barkley was unbelievable in his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley led the league with 345 carries and 2,005 yards, while adding 13 rushing touchdowns. He also caught 33 passes for 278 yards and 2 touchdowns. Not only did Barkley help the Eagles go 14-3 in the regular season, but he also led them to a Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
On Friday, the Eagles had their championship parade, and there were beer cans and bottles all over. One fan tried to throw a beer can to Barkley, who shied away from trying to catch the long pass. The can ended up hitting someone next to Barkley.
In a season full of great moments by Barkley, that was not one of them.
Barkley was the No. 2 overall draft pick by the New York Giants in 2018. He spent six seasons with them and established himself as a top running back. But they did not re-sign him, and he joined the Eagles in free agency. The move could not have worked out better for both parties.
Barkley was ready for everything at the parade and was lauded for one cool move he made. Except he wanted no part of that thrown beer can.
