Saquon Barkley was able to hang out with members of the Trump family before meeting President Donald Trump later this month.
Barkley is the star of the Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles, who won his second Lombardi trophy in February.
The birds were invited to the White House shortly after their 40-22 victory against the Chiefs of Kansas City, and they will go on April 28.

Before that, Barkley attended the JP Morgan Tech 100 summit, to whom Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, attended her husband Jared Kushner, their son Theodore and the brother of Jared, Joshua.
“I had an incredible moment at the top of JP Morgan Tech 100! I want to make a cry to Madhu for having brought me out. I also want to give a cry to all those who made him incredible,” posted Barkley on X.
Barkley included four photos of the event in the post, one of which included him speaking on a panel with Tom Brady and another with Trump and Theodore.
Barkley also signed Theodore’s ball, “A Future Star!”
Earlier this year, Ivanka was visited by Tua Tagovailoa and Braxton Berrios.
The invitation of the Eagles to the White House was somewhat controversial. There had been rumors online that the team would refuse an invitation, as seven years ago.

However, Karoline Leavitt said the team “enthusiastically accepted” this year.
Head coach Nick Sirianni said earlier this week that he was “really excited” for the occasion.
“I am really excited to go there, yeah. What honor. What an honor to be able to go to the White House. Teams who have been able to win championships have been doing it for a long time, and I am really honored to go and really excited to go,” said Sirianni this week.
