The clip, which quickly went viral, sheds light on Barkley’s family dynamic amidst his professional endeavors.
Aware of her father’s history with the Eagles, including a recent playoff loss and January 2023 encounter, Barkley’s daughter couldn’t help but express her optimism for success in their new team.
This heartwarming moment was part of a longer video released by the Eagles on Monday, chronicling Barkley’s first 24 hours with the team.
Barkley’s move to the Eagles marks a significant shift in his career, having spent the first six seasons with the Giants, a longstanding NFC rival of the Eagles.
Despite his tenure with the Giants, Barkley’s decision to join the Eagles has been met with enthusiasm from both fans and teammates alike.
His arrival in Philadelphia is part of a broader series of exciting offseason acquisitions for the Eagles, including names such as Bryce Huff, Devin White, C.J. Gardner Johnson, Devante Parker, and Kenny Pickett.
