During Penn State's winter condition workouts at the Lasch Building, Barkely posted ridiculous numbers:

4.38 second 40-yard dash

Power clean of 390 pounds (tied program record set by DT Anthony Zettel)

"[Barkley]'s special in a lot of different areas. He's a tremendous athlete. He's a great leader, a great worker."
