Saquon Barkley Shares “Best Advice” to Players Ahead of Super Bowl

Saquon Barkley is passing some words of wisdom to this year’s Super Bowl teams.

The team that won the 2025 Super Bowl offered some good advice to the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, who are set to compete in the 2026 Super Bowl on February 8th.

The 28-year-old told TopMob News at the Madden Bowl on February 6th that his best advice for the players competing on Sunday is to remember it’s just another game. He acknowledged there will be a lot of attention and some initial nerves, but once the game starts, it feels the same as any other competition.

He added, “You just go out there and play the game that you know.”

The Philadelphia Eagles player has some valuable advice to offer. He recently earned Offensive Player of the Year honors for his performance in the 2025 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he shares two children – Jada, age 7, and Saquon Jr., age 3 – with his fiancée, Anna Congdon.

As Anna noted after the win, the achievement was a dream come true.

The influencer said in an interview after the game, ‘This is what it’s all about.’ They explained that the player works incredibly hard – harder than anyone they’ve ever known – and achieving this was a long-held dream come true, both for the player and for the influencer to witness.

Although it’s impossible to know who will win the Super Bowl this year, we can definitely look forward to an amazing halftime show by Bad Bunny in 2026. He recently hinted at some exciting surprises he’s planning.

I was at the Apple Music press conference on February 5th, and when someone asked Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, his real name) about possible guests for the Super Bowl halftime show, he just laughed! He playfully said he wasn’t going to tell us, and even joked about why anyone would even ask!

However, he did tease that fans can expect a slew of special guests.

He said he’s expecting a huge turnout. “It’ll be family, friends, and people from the Latino community all over the world who have been supporting me, really the whole country,” he explained. “So many people have shown their support globally.”

As for what he can share about his highly anticipated performance? Well, it’s not much.

I don’t want to reveal too much about it,” the 31-year-old said. “It’s going to be a really enjoyable experience, and all people need to focus on is having fun and dancing.
