Odell Beckham Jr. Calls Eagles' Saquon Barkley One of the 'Illesttt' NFL Players Ever

Saquon Barkley received praise from former teammate Odell Beckham Jr. following the Philadelphia Eagles' 28-22 divisional-round win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Beckham gave a shoutout to the star running back on social media.

The NFL's leading rusher during the regular season continued to excel in the playoffs, picking up 205 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. This included a 78-yard score that helped give the Eagles a late 28-15 lead.

Barkley's 205 rush yards were the fifth-most in a postseason game in NFL history (h/t CBS Sports' Garrett Podell).

Beckham has experience playing alongside the 27-year-old, as the two shared the field as members of the New York Giants during the 2018 season. Barkley was navigating through his inaugural season in the NFL that year, ultimately taking home Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.

He's in the midst of a stellar first season in Philadelphia, rushing for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns in 16 regular-season appearances. Barkley also caught 33 passes for 278 yards and two more scores.

As for Beckham, the three-time Pro Bowl wideout signed with the Miami Dolphins ahead of the 2024 season. He appeared in nine games, hauling in nine receptions for 55 yards before he was waived by the Dolphins on Dec. 13.

The Eagles will be playing in their second NFC Championship Game in three years due to Barkley's heroics, impressing fans and former teammates alike.
