From the moment Giants running back Saquon Barkley entered the NFL, Eli Manning — and really, the entire football-watching world — couldn’t stop staring at his legs.
I’m not kidding. Manning even admitted that in 2018 when he literally said, “I don’t often stare at another man’s legs, but in that case, you just can’t quite help it.”
Barkley’s legs are so muscular that they simply don’t look real, and it honestly seems like his legs get bigger with every subsequent workout photo. Even in retirement, Eli continues to be impressed with Barkley’s legs.
Barkley shared a workout photo on Wednesday night that got a ridiculous angle of his left leg’s muscle definition. Well, Eli came in with the jokes!
Please stop photoshopping my legs onto your body. https://t.co/SkoogjQNHQ

You just know that Eli was very proud of that tweet, and I can’t blame him. That’s a solid tweet. Excellent work.
But just for comparison, this is what Manning is working worth:
Uncanny!
