The moment indeed held a special place for Saquon Barkley and his family simultaneously. The Eagles linebacker will play the first Super Bowl of his career as the Eagles advance their second in three years. The MVP contender had quite a year finishing the regular season with 2,005 yards.

After leaving the Giants for a three-year, $37.75 million contract with Philadelphia, Barkley became the ninth running back to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season. It will be the utmost thrill to see him and the Eagles face the reigning champion Chiefs in New Orleans on Feb. 9.

Likely so, the running back’s family will be present at the arena for extra support. Saquon Barkley’s girlfriend Anna Congdon has been with him since before all the glory. The two first acquainted with each other during their time in college at Penn State. Barkley and Congdon welcomed their first kid in 2018, the same year he was drafted by the Giants.

The clip taken prior to the NFL divisional rounds between the Eagles and the Rams showcases Barkley doing a special handshake with his daughter. The two clapped hands back and forth before Barkley leaned down to kiss Jada on the cheek. The father-daughter duo then held up peace signs.

Barkley and Jada performed the handshake before the highly anticipated NFC clash between the Eagles and the Commanders as well. The gesture has now added itself to one of the much-loved moments by the fans.
