Penn State’s Saquon Barkley impresses again, power-cleans 405 pounds
Is there anything Penn State’s Saquon Barkley can’t do?
A year ago, Barkley made national headlines when he power-cleaned 390 pounds. Well, as an encore Thursday, he bested that mark — with a 405-pound power-clean.
Just watch below:

Keep in mind this is the same 5-foot-11, 223-pound running back that ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash just three months ago.
At this point, it might be virtually impossible to be surprised by Barkley. He’s already a Heisman front-runner, and he’s on pace to break the career school rushing record. Barkley needs just 1,361 yards to surpass No. 1 Evan Royster on the list with 3,932 yards.
Here’s just a sampling of what Barkley’s coaches and teammates had to say:
Look at the new guys just staring at him lol! They better get to work!#WeAre
