Microphones caught AJ Brown giving Saquon Barkley a huge compliment during his monster play

Saquon Barkley gave a career-best performance on Sunday night, posting his first 200+ rushing yards game. He has done well in his first season as a Philadelphia Eagle, and he shows no sign of slowing down.

There has been an increase in the number of fans advocating Barkley is named NFL MVP this season thanks to the huge numbers he is putting up week after week. His teammates also give Barkley his flowers, an example of which was caught on camera during Sunday’s game. Eagles receiver AJ Brown paid Barkley a big compliment on the sideline.

“You’re already the best running back in the world. I think you’re the best player in the world,” Brown told Barkley in a video recorded by NFL movies Mic’d up.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts agreed with this sentiment when he told NBC after the game that Barkley is the key player “best in the league.”

Barkley is in a tight race with the Baltimore Ravens chasing Derrick Henry for the NFL’s incoming running backs leader. The Eagles star currently leads with 1,392 yards, while Henry has 1,325 yards. Barkley’s monstrous 255-yard play helped propel him forward.
