Penn State’s Saquon Barkley power cleans 405 pounds (Video)
Everyone knew Saquon Barkley was a beast, but this video of him power cleaning over 400 pounds will surely help prove it to those who didn’t know.
Saquon Barkley is arguably the top running back in all of college football right now, and is widely known as an absolute beast on and off the field. However, maybe the Penn State product just wanted to give fans a quick reminder of how strong he really is.
Barkley, in a video posted by Penn State’s Football Strength Staff Twitter account, showcased his raw strength by power cleaning an amazing 405 pounds.
While the video is in slow-motion and it’s tough to tell how easy it was for Barkley, it’s still amazing to watch how powerful he really is, and the reaction he gets from those around him in the gym for this crazy feat.
Barkley was last year’s Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year for a reason, as he dominated through his sophomore season with 1,496 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns to go along with it. He’s likely going to be a top prospect in this upcoming draft class, and could see himself going as a top-10 or even top-five pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Penn State running back has already proven his skills on the field, as he already is ranked 15th on the college’s career rushing yards list with 2,131 yards, and that’s through just two seasons on the team. He’s gone over 1,000 yards in both of his seasons as a Nittany Lion, and is just the eighth player in team history to accomplish multiple 1,000-yard seasons.
These stats and achievements, along with these crazy types of videos that Barkley is a part of, will surely help his draft stock over the next season, and barring any injury, he could be a highly-desired commodity in next year’s draft.
