Super Bowl Sunday could turn into an extra special day for Saquon Barkley.
Not only is the Philadelphia Eagles running back chasing his first ring, but he will also be celebrating his birthday.

Barkley would love nothing more than to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans to mark turning 28-years-old.
And now, Jake Paul has offered him a huge incentive to be named the game’s MVP, too.
In a message shared ahead of the Super Bowl, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has promised to gift Barkley one of his Ferraris if ‘Quadzilla’ wins the award.
“This is a message for Saquon Barkley, and Saquon Barkley only,” Paul said in a video posted by his sports gaming and media company, Betr.
“If you win the Super Bowl MVP – I think you can do it brother. Have so much love for you… I will give you one of my Ferraris.”
Paul delivered his message to Barkley while standing in front of the two yellow models that he owns.
The influencer, who has a staggering worth of around $80million, has previously shared videos reviewing his Ferraris.
He bought a $700,000 SF-90 Spider back in January 2024, describing it as an ‘incredible’ car while taking brother Logan for a spin.
Paul also reviewed his $421,000 Ferrari 296 GTB soon after buying that in June 2023.
He described sitting in the car as a ‘crazy, surreal moment’ and admitted he was ‘nervous’ to drive it.

But if Barkley wins Super Bowl MVP on Sunday, he could soon be behind the wheel of one of Paul’s cars.
While the Eagles go into the game as slight underdogs, Barkley’s year has been nothing short of historic.
In 19 games played this season, including the playoffs, he has rushed for 2,447 yards and 18 touchdowns, five of which have come in his last two postseason games.
And while Barkley finished the regular season with 2,005 rushing yards – 101 short of breaking the single-season record Eric Dickerson set in 1984 – he is just 30 shy of the total rushing yards record (postseason included).
That was set by Terrell Davis, who reached 2,476 yards as he helped lead the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl XXXIII win against the Atlanta Falcons in January 1999.
Interestingly, Davis is also the last running back to win Super Bowl MVP – that was against the Green Bay Packers the year before.
Barkley will be hoping to rush for more than 30 yards to break Davis’ record on Sunday, and if he has a monster game, he has a chance of being named MVP.
And driving away in a Ferrari will no doubt offer extra motivation.
Even if Paul does give away one of his cars, he will still boast an enviable collection.
Alongside his Ferraris, the 28-year-old also owns a Lamborghini Huracan, a Ford Fairlane Skyliner, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and two Teslas.
