“His humbleness and charisma shined through,” said Rachel Panek, who encountered Barkley at Pennsylvania high school track meet a decade ago.
Updated: 16 minutes agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley runs for a 78-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter, breaking the tackle from Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Curl during the NFC divisional playoff game Sunday, Jan. 19, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
“His humbleness and charisma shined through,” said Panek, 25, now a nurse at a burn intensive care unit at a Dallas hospital. Next up was the boys' 100-meter-dash finals, and because Panek and Barkley were using the same lane, it was her responsibility to hold down his metal starting blocks for him. They didn’t know each other.
Not surprisingly, Barkley, who was headed to Penn State on a football scholarship, exploded out of the blocks and won the race.
