## Summary

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley says he is torn between pursuing a television career after football and stepping away from public life. He is considering following former teammate Michael Strahan into broadcasting, while also wanting to tell stories about history and topics beyond sport.

The 29-year-old said winning the 2025 Super Bowl brought him more television opportunities and confidence on camera. He has appeared in several adverts and enjoys family life, including coaching his daughter’s flag football team, but can also imagine buying land and “go[ing] ghost” after retiring.
