Saquon Barkley, the NFL’s leading rusher last season, was seen with President Donald Trump on Marine One and at Trump’s golf club, where they appeared friendly. Trump praised Barkley, saying, “What a nice guy he is,” and humorously noted he wanted to race him. Barkley, scheduled to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl victory at the White House, seems to be taking a different political stance than teammate Jalen Hurts, who hesitated when asked about attending the ceremony, contrasting with Trump’s past tensions with NFL players over social issues.
