Saquon Barkley becomes father days before NFL Draft
Saquon Barkley is going through two major life-changing experiences in the span of three days.
On Tuesday, Barkley announced that he had become a father. He shared a photo on Instagram of himself holding his baby daughter.
“Words can’t even describe how I feel right now,” Barkley wrote. “You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Thank God for blessing me with you in my life and into my arms. I pray that I can be the best father to you and help you grow into an amazing woman. I love you so so so much #DaddysLittleGirl Jada Clare Barkley 4.24.18”
His message was extremely sweet and shows how excited he seems to be about becoming a father.
As if becoming a father weren’t daunting enough, Barkley is also set to be drafted in the first round on Thursday, likely in the top five (and perhaps to this team). Not only does he have the responsibility of helping to raise a daughter, but he will also be tasked with becoming a franchise icon for one lucky NFL team.
