Saquon Barkley hasn’t had the statistical start to the season that is close to last year’s pace, but the Philadelphia Eagles are still 4-1 and he has a chance to breakout vs. his former team the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. Before the big game on the road, Barkley was in full dad mode with his daughter in a touching scene.

The 28-year-old running back set an NFL record with 2504 yards from scrimmage during the regular season in his first year with the Eagles on the way to winning the Super Bowl. So far this season in five games, he’s averaging just 3.2 yards per carry and has rushed for just 267 yards and three touchdowns.

Barkley doesn’t need to prove anything on the field, though, and his focus off of it is his family with fiancée Anna Congdon and their two kids in daughter Jada, 7, and son Saquon Jr., 3.

Before Thursday night’s game on Amazon Prime Video, Barkley was captured adorably dressing up with a unicorn headband for a tea party with Jada. She could be heard saying, “It looks like you’re and girl and you’re getting ready for a wedding.”

Congdon, who got choked up seeing him with Jada, said, “It’s so cool to see how he acts when he’s just with her. Because it’s something completely special.”

How cute!

Barkley is a unicorn on the football field as well and hopes to unleash his powers vs. the Giants and get things rolling this season.

His family will be rooting for him.
