Saquon Barkley has a newfound respect for Spider-Man actor Tom Holland.
And it's thanks to a special honor he received before the start of the 2025 season.
Barkley's viral backwards hurdle over Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones in a 2024 regular season game earned so much respect from fans everywhere, that it is officially the Madden 26 cover.
But in order to recreate the moment during the photoshoot for the Madden cover, Barkley wore a harness. And with that, he showed some respect to Holland for all of his work in “Spider-Man."
“It definitely made me respect someone like Tom Holland who does superhero movies and is strapped in all the time,” Barkley said (via ESPN). “It’s definitely harder than you think.”
