At this point, we're prepared to announce to anyone who will listen that Saquon Barkley is an extra terrestrial. Now, we don't mean one of those ugly space invaders like E.T. and those monsters in Alien Romulus. We're thinking the cool dudes like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator franchise or everyone's favorite alien, Superman.

Even still, calling Saquon The Terminator or Superman still sounds a tad disrespectful. Even they aren't as dominant as Mr. Barkley has been.

DraftKings Sportsbook now places him ahead of Lamar Jackson in MVP odds. Every Esports athlete has enjoyed his skillset as his 'reverse hurdle' can now be performed on EA's Madden NFL game.

No one should be surprised because the hits just keep on coming.

Saquon Barkley ranks third in early Pro Bowl voting according to the NFL.

Well, you had to know this was coming...

The NFL's operations department opened the Pro Bowl polls after the action in Week 12. Less than 24 hours after the Eagles' victory over the Baltimore Ravens wrapped, we found an update. Some of the stars of that show are the leading vote-getters.

Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry might be trailing Saquon in the MVP conversation, but they're slightly ahead of the Eagles star here. That could change though. A handful of games remain in the Philadelphia Eagles' season.

Saquon, if you haven't heard, is now on the best roster he's ever been on. He's running behind the best O-line he's ever teamed with. He's on pace to eclipse 2,000 yards.

So far this season, he has notched 1,499 yards rushing and 11 TDs on 246 carries. He's added another 267 yards and a pair of receiving TDs thanks to 29 receptions.

We repeat... Calling him Superman doesn't properly describe how good he's been.
