While it’s still in question whether quarterback Jalen Hurts will join his Philadelphia Eagles teammates at the White House, the status of another Birds’ star isn’t.

Hurts’ appearance may still be up in the air, but star running back Saquon Barkley, it appears, will be in Washington, D.C., to visit President Donald Trump on April 28.

A day prior to the visit on April 27, Barkley was seen exiting Marine One with Trump. During the day, Barkley also was seen with Trump at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, according to a report by Dov Kleiman.

Barkley responds to critics over his Trump visit

Following some backlash on social media about his visit with Trump, Barkley responded with a post on X.

“Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand,” Barkley said in the post. “Just golfed with Obama not too long ago … and look forward to finishing my round with Trump! Now ya get out my mentions with all this politics and have amazing day.”

Will Jalen Hurts attend the White House visit?

Last week, Hurts was asked at the Time100 Gala about whether he’d be participating in the Philadelphia Eagles‘ upcoming scheduled visit to the White House.

Hurts started by saying “Umm.” Then he smiled, looked away and didn’t say anything else.

Did the Eagles visit Trump in the White House in 2017?

Hurts and Barkley were not on the team the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl in the 2017 season.

During Trump’s first administration, several Eagles players said at the time they would not attend the ceremony at the White House because of the president’s comments against players protesting social injustices during the national anthem, either by kneeling or raising their fists.

Soon after, the White House invitation was rescinded due to Trump’s disappointment in some players kneeling during the anthem.
