Washington’s RB appears to break out Saquon Barkley’s celebration after a TD against Penn State

Could be shade or could be a tribute by Myles Gaskin.

If you’ve ever seen Saquon Barkley score, then you’ve probably noticed his unconventional post-TD move.

He even broke it out after his Fiesta Bowl record 92-yard score.

But according to Barkley, there’s not exactly some deep-seated meaning to the movement. He doesn’t consider it a celebration.

“It’s not even a celebration,” he said. “I’m just running and having fun. It’s like you’re a little kid, you’re playing with your brothers. So I really wouldn’t call it a celebration.”

OK then.

So if you were wondering what the arm rotating stuff after touchdowns was all about, there you have the answer. It is a non-celebration where Barkley is having fun like a little kid.

What we’re not sure of is why Washington RB Myles Gaskin did the same thing after he scored on the ensuing drive for Washington.

Personally, I hope he’s lobbing a shot across the bow at Barkley because pettiness in sports makes things better. But he could very well be coincidentally swinging his arms in boyish joy, or it could even be a TD celebration that he’s trying to coin himself.

Just keep swimming, guys.
