Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley turned heads when he opted to spend time with President of the United States Donald Trump ahead of the Eagles' scheduled visit on Monday.
A picture of the former New York Giants star at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, made the rounds on social media on Sunday. More than that, they were caught on video stepping off Marine One together.
As usual, some fans liked seeing Barkley spend time with one of the world's most powerful people, but not everybody was impressed with the Super Bowl LIX champion's decision to hang out with Trump.

As one of the team's stars, he's expected to talk during the Eagles' visit. Perhaps, he will address all the criticism in front of the microphones.
