Saquon Barkley Has the NFL’s Most Ridiculous Quads and These Memes Prove It
New York Giants star Saquon Barkley is one of the best running backs—and players, overall—in the NFL.
Ever since his rookie year in 2018 (and his college career at Penn State), fans have noticed his defining quality as an athlete: his absolutely ridiculous quads and legs, which surely play a huge role in him being such a talented player.
These memes point out how good Barkley is, and also, bonus, are really funny.
The debate over who, exactly, is the NFL's best running back is a good one. There's Christian McCaffrey, an all-purpose weapon who can take over a game at any given point. There's Alvin Kamara, a key cog in the well-oiled machine that's the New Orleans Saints offense. There's Ezekiel Elliott, who puts his head down and just produces year after year. Hell, we might even be close to getting Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who made his debut with the Kansas City Chiefs less than a week ago, into the mix (OK, probably a little too early on that one, but damn did he look good.).
But the best pick of all of these might be former Penn State and current New York Giants star Saquon Barkley, who not only marvels with his all-purpose play on the field (he's both a tremendous rusher and receiver), but looks ridiculous on the sidelines too—just look at that man's quads.
And since Saquon Barkley is the all-around package (and plays in New York, and was the #2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft), it's kind of hard to keep that a secret. And when you're a big deal in the NFL, people are going to notice, and people are going to joke. And that's how Barkley became one of the most memed players in the NFL, everything from photos, to commercials, to touchdowns making up to be fodder for more.
And we know that's why you're here. Because while the highlights are great, you can see those rather easily. Right now, you're here to laugh—and we've got you covered.

When Saquon didn't make it into one TikTok meme (see above), fans wondered why.

And, I mean...this isn't particularly funny. But let's just look at a video of this dude jumping out of a pool for old time's sake. Ridiculous. Ri-dic-u-lous.
