We love a moment between a lineman and a two-year-old.
That must have been what Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata was thinking when he hilarious hyped up teammate Saquon Barkley to Barkley's two-year-old son.
In a video taken after the Eagles' NFC Championship win, Mailata fist bumps Barkley's youngest before telling him, "Your dad's a legend. Do you know that? Your dad is a legend. He might be the greatest running back in Philadelphia history of all time. Your dad is a legend!"It's really just funny because Mailata is talking to a toddler that either does not comprehend what he is hearing or will likely forget this interaction even happened.
Barkley put up a monster performance in the Eagles' 55–23 routing of the Washington Commanders, which began with himon the team's opening drive. He also surpassed 2,000 rushing yards in the 2024 regular season and is single-handedly making the case for running backs everywhere. Oh, and did we mention
So yes, Barkley is a legend. HIs son will learn that in due time, whether it's from Mailata or someone else.Brigid Kennedy is a contributor to the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
