WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – President Donald Trump hosted the 2025 Super Bowl champions at the White House Monday.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning champs but several players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, did not attend the celebration.

Hurts and other players said they were unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

“The Eagles have turned out to be an incredible team, an incredible group,” Trump said.

In 2018 Trump invited the Eagles to the White House when they won the Super Bowl that year but then cancelled the invitation after most of the players declined to show up.

Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley visited Trump over the weekend at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and caught a ride with the president to Washington on Air Force One and then to the White House on Marine One.

“He loved it,” Trump said of Barkley’s short flight on the presidential airplane. “He’s a great young guy and an incredible football player. Saquon had a season for the ages, running behind the most powerful offensive line in the NFL,” Trump said.

Barkley posted on social media that he respected the office and that he had also golfed with former President Barack Obama.

Trump attended the game back in February when the Eagles defeated the Kanas City Chiefs.
