This week is turning out to be a banner week for former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley.

Anna Congdon, Barkley’s girlfriend, gave birth to the couple’s first child – Jada Clare Barkley.

“Words can’t even describe how I feel right now,” Barkley posted on Instagram. “You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Congdon posted on her Instagram, “When two became three…”

The excitement for Barkley continues this week, as he’s expected to be one of the top players in the 2018 NFL Draft on Thursday night. Barkley is projected to go as high as No. 2. Many are expecting the Cleveland Browns to go with a quarterback for the first pick.

Even with the birth of his daughter, Barkley is expected to attend Thursday night’s NFL Draft.
