The Eagles‘ Super Bowl win celebration is on! Saquon Barkley played a huge role in his team winning their second Super Bowl title, setting a new NFL single-season rushing record of 2,504 yards. His 57 rushing yards in Super Bowl LIX were paltry, given his seven 60+ yard touchdown rushes in the season. But they were enough for him to go past Terrell Davis‘ 2,476 yards. Known for his exceptional speed and incredible strength, Barkley, 28, undoubtedly has become the driving force in the Eagles’ SB win.

After crushing the Chiefs’ bid for a three-peat with 40-22, the Eagles RB has been celebrating his first SB title with some expensive bling. According to NFL reporter Dov Kleiman’s X update, the star RB bought a super expensive diamond chain worth $100K. “Saquon Barkley got a new $100K chain to celebrate the #Eagles Super Bowl win,” he mentioned in his post caption.

Impressively, at this moment, new Super Bowl Champion Saquon Barkley stole all the limelight, debuting a new “26” chain with over 200 carats. Well!  It was also a great birthday present for Barkley, who signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles in March 2024. He posted 40 receiving yards in addition to his 57 rushing yards during his first Super Bowl championship game, which coincided with his 28th birthday. And, after setting the remarkable record, he expressed his exhilaration.

“It’s cool, To be honest, the most important thing was winning the Super Bowl. Because if we didn’t win today, all those accolades and all those yards wouldn’t mean anything. So, it’s cool,” he stated.  At this moment, he also credited his family, teammate and God. “I don’t want to downplay it because I couldn’t do it without the boys up front, and I know how much that means to them. For me, thankful. Couldn’t do it without God, but I like that Lombardi Trophy a little bit more.”

Amidst the Eagles’ Super Bowl grand win celebration, his expensive diamond chain did not garner his fans’ attention for the first time. His adoration for expensive and customized jewelry has gone viral multiple times before.

As per TMZ Sports, Barkley’s viral chain was made with 18-karat white gold and VVS (very very slightly included) diamonds of high quality. And, with this expensive chain, he treated himself before the start of the new season. Not only this but last year in November, during Philadelphia’s 28-22 win against Los Angeles in the divisional round, Barkley’s Kobe Bryant earrings brought significant limelight. Impressively, through his dangling jewel, he paid a heartfelt tribute to the late basketball legendary player and one of his biggest athletic inspirations.

His beautiful hoop earring featured Bryant’s logo, depicting a sword in a sheath. Barkley is heavily inspired by Bryant, which drives him profusely to become one of the best backs in the NFL. And, for his consistent growth, he credits Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality.” He adds, “I just hope one day I can inspire others the way you inspired me.” And, with his performance this season, he has truly become an inspiration for many himself.
