Somebody With A Good Brain Needs To Explain This Saquon Barkley Madden Cover Shoot To Me
Obviously the easiest answer here is some sort of rigging system that pulls Saquon up through the air. But you can look as long and as hard as you want here, it's impossible to see a rope in this shot. Saquon is a big beefy boy. It seems like you'd need a big beefy rope to hoist him up through the air.
There's always the chance this is AI generated. Seems like nowadays you can't trust a single damn thing you see because of AI. But Saquon Barkley is a competitor to his core. If he was able to hit the reverse hurdle in an actual game, something tells me he's not going to cheat it now and use AI to get this shot. He doesn't want the computers to think they are capable of doing what he does.
Maybe there's a spring board under the turf? You don't see any movement on the ground, but maybe he just needed the slightest of lifts to float like that?
I don't know. I'm out of ideas. A pulley system still seems the most logical to me, but Saquon Barkley managed to defy all laws of logic this past season for the Philadelphia Eagles. The moment he pulled off this move, logic went out the door.
P.S. -- The fact that they were wearing the Kelly Greens during this game, so now the Kelly Green gets to bless the cover of Madden? Big time chef's kiss.
