Watch Super Bowl winner Saquon Barkley make an Eagles ballboy part of the victory parade
Philadelphia Eagles superstar Saquon Barkley stayed true to Philly's motto when he invited a special spectator to leave the crowd and join the team's Super Bowl victory parade in the City of Brotherly Love.
Players, coaches, and staff took the applause during the traditional parade following the Eagles' Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Thousands of fans lined the streets of Philadelphia to catch a glimpse of stars like Barkley, quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, and even the retired but longtime Eagles icon Jason Kelce.
Despite the crush of people, Barkley spotted a familiar face behind the barriers in the crowd. The man who caught Barkley's attention was one of the team's ball boys. After stopping to say hello and give the man a hug, the NFL star decided that wasn't enough.

There's no "I" in team, as they say. The job of ball boys is to retrieve the balls during games and hand them off to the players or referees. They're a small cog in the wheel whose work often goes unnoticed. Apparently not by Saquon Barkley.
