‘Setting an example’: Saquon Barkley excited to become a father, ‘role model’ | Centre Daily Times

UNIVERSITY PARK

Saquon Barkley’s April is going to be a busy one — and he’s ready for it.

Barkley, a consensus All-American and projected top-tier pick in next month’s NFL draft, is also set to become a father. He and his girlfriend, Anna Congdon, announced over the weekend that the couple is expecting a baby.

Barkley said after Penn State’s Pro Day on Tuesday that the due date is April 14. Two weeks later, Barkley will be in Dallas, hearing his name called early in the first round. That’s a lot for a 21-year-old to handle in such a short amount of time, but Barkley is “excited” for both opportunities.
