Saquon Barkley’s longtime girlfriend, Anna Congdon, honors Eagles star after 2,000-yard milestone

Saquon Barkley’s biggest supporter shared a touching message Sunday after the star Eagles running back’s milestone game.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Anna Congdon penned a heartfelt post to her longtime partner, who became the ninth running back in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards in a season during Philadelphia’s 41-7 home win over the Cowboys.

“You outshine the morning sun,” Congdon wrote of Barkley, 27.

In a follow-up post, Congdon — who has been dating Barkley since their college days at Penn State and share two children together — uploaded an NFL graphic featuring an animation of the two-time Pro Bowler leaping over 2K letters.

Barkley surpᴀssed the 2,000-yard mark in the fourth quarter Sunday on a 23-yard run.

He finished the Week 17 contest with 31 carries for 167 yards and is now 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson’s record of 2,105.

With one game left, the Eagles — who clinched the NFC East on Sunday — will have to decide if they’ll play their starters in the regular-season finale against the Giants or rest them ahead of the playoffs.

Barkley, currently in his first season in Philadelphia, is game for whatever coach Nick Sirianni decides.

“Whatever his decision is, I’m all for it,” Barkley said. “If his mindset is, go out and try it, we’ll go out and try it. If his mindset is, let’s rest and get ready for this run, I’ll all for it, too.”

Barkley spent the first six seasons of his career with the Giants, who drafted him second overall in 2018.

The MVP candidate joined Big Blue’s loathed rival in free agency this past March, agreeing to a three-year, $37.75 million deal.

Barkley has tallied 13 rushing touchdowns through 16 games this year, along with two receiving scores.
