Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle took the sports world by storm, and now he has some hardware for it.

Barkley won the ESPY for Best Play on Wednesday night, honoring his iconic leap over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender.

The jump beat Tyrese Haliburton's game winner in the NBA Finals, Sabrina Ionescu's game winner in the WNBA Finals, and Trinity Rodman's walk-off goal to send the USWNT to the semifinals.

Barkley, who was also nominated for Best Male Athlete and Best NFL Player, set the all-time record for rushing yards (regular season and playoffs) while winning AP Offensive Player of the Year honors. Barkley had many special plays throughout the season, but the reserve hurdle stands in a league of its own.

Just look at his teammates' reactions:
