Before Saquon Barkley steps onto the field against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football , the Philadelphia Eagles star showed a softer side that’s winning hearts off the gridiron. The 28-year-old running back, known for his explosive plays and unmatched athleticism, was recently captured having a sweet father-daughter tea party that reminded fans there’s more to him than football glory.

Barkley’s numbers this season may not mirror his record-breaking 2024 campaign — when he amassed 2,504 yards from scrimmage and helped the Eagles lift the Super Bowl trophy — but his priorities are clear. While averaging 3.2 yards per carry and tallying 267 rushing yards with three touchdowns in five games, Barkley has kept his focus grounded in what matters most: family.
Just hours before the Eagles’ primetime matchup, cameras caught Barkley sharing a precious moment with his seven-year-old daughter, Jada. The clip showed him wearing a unicorn headband, fully committed to her imaginative tea party. At one point, Jada giggled and said, “It looks like you’re a girl and you’re getting ready for a wedding.”
His fiancée, Anna Congdon , was visibly emotional watching the scene unfold. “It’s so cool to see how he acts when he’s just with her. Because it’s something completely special,” she said.
That brief, heartwarming exchange showcased the other side of Barkley — the doting dad who values connection and calm before chaos. As he prepares to face his old team, it’s clear his family’s support fuels his competitive fire.
Why Saquon Barkley left the Giants for a new chapter
Barkley’s departure from the New York Giants was a mix of business and circumstance. Years of injuries, including a torn ACL and multiple ankle setbacks, coupled with the Giants’ hesitation to offer him a long-term deal, eventually led to his exit. The team franchise-tagged him twice but decided against it in 2024, freeing him to explore new opportunities.
On “Hard Knocks: Offseason,” Barkley candidly reflected on his exit: “Once I announced it, everything kind of got hectic. I don’t think I handled it the right way; I think I could’ve given a proper goodbye.”
He expressed gratitude to Giants fans, saying, “For the last six years, they’ve been great to me and my family and created so many memories; I am forever grateful.”
Now with the Eagles, Barkley seems at peace. “I’m excited to get the business side off of it,” he said. “Now we can keep the main thing the main thing and focus on playing football and winning games.”
Signing a three-year, $37.75 million deal with Philadelphia, Barkley joined a team built for success. With one of the league’s best offensive lines and a fanbase that thrives on energy and passion, he’s found the perfect stage to revive his dominance — and maybe add another Super Bowl ring to his legacy.
As he readies to face his former team, one thing’s certain: Saquon Barkley’s heart beats strongest for both the game and the family cheering from home.
