Saquon Barkley had the night of his life on Saturday in Iowa City, and everyone took notice.

The Penn State back rushed for 211 yards, had 94 receiving yards and scored a touchdown in Penn State’s thrilling 21-19 win over Iowa. And that doesn’t include all the cuts, maneuvers, hurdles and all that other ridiculous stuff he’s capable of doing.

For the average person, Barkley is an incredible talent and arguably one of the best college football players of all-time. But what do professional athletes — even former college stars — think of the Penn State back?

Yeah, they think he’s pretty damn good, too.

Several professional athletes took to Twitter Saturday night, marveling at Barkley’s ability. Here are some of the best tweets from well-known athletes:
