Saquon Barkley welcomes 1st child 2 days before draft

Congratulations are in order for Saquon Barkley.

Two days before he gets drafted into the NFL, the Penn State running back and his girlfriend, Anna Congdon, welcomed their first child on Tuesday, Jada Clare Barkley.

Words can't even describe how I feel right now. 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 ai
