Saquon Barkley’s Three-Word Message After Exciting Penn State Announcement

With the NFL Draft coming up this week, the days are dwindling until the start of the 2025 season.  The Philadelphia Eagles will begin the season as the defending Super Bowl champions, having defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40–22.  While it has been a relatively uneventful offseason so far for the Eagles, things are expected to heat up with the draft and, soon after, the start of training camp.

As players enjoy some time off before the rush of the season, many are spending it on vacations with family, or attending various events.  Saquon Barkley, of the Philadelphia Eagles, is scheduled to appear at an event on May 8.  Happy Valley United sent a message about a fun event coming up next month: “We Are… in Philly! Join us on May 8th at the Union League Philadelphia from 6–10 PM to rally behind Penn State Football and connect with fellow Nittany Lions.”

“See you there,” said Barkley.

Saquon Barkley is undoubtedly the headliner at this major event hosted by the Penn State NIL collective.  In 2024, Barkley was named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year and led the league in rushing yards. The dynamic running back finished the regular season with an impressive 2,283 total scrimmage yards across 16 games.  This was Barkley’s first season with the Philadelphia Eagles after making the move from their division rivals, the New York Giants.

According to the Happy Valley United website, “Happy Valley United is the NIL collective that serves all 31 sports and over 850 student-athletes at Penn State. NIL opportunities allow student-athletes to engage with charitable causes and participate in business engagements, to build their brands while making a positive impact.”  Other former Penn State Nittany Lions that plan to be in attendance include: Marcus Allen, Christian Hackenberg, Grant Haley, Jordan Hill, Adam Taliaferro, Deion Barnes, Dan Connor, Stan Drayton, Jim Knowles and Terry Smith.  The event is scheduled for Thursday, May 8, at the Union League of Philadelphia from 6-10 PM.
