Vick, a former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, shares more than just an Eagles tenure with Barkley. Vick also had the honor of his image gracing the cover of Madden 2004. Now he\u2019s sending Barkley a strong message.<\/p>\n

Wearing a green and gold T-shirt that read \u201cBEHOLD,\u201d Vick, who currently works as the head coach for Norfolk State University, offered his strong support and encouragement in a direct-to-camera video posted to his social media, which Vick captioned, \u201cI see you @saquon!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video Vick said, \u201cThis message is going out to Saquon Barkley. Congratulations on being the 2026 Madden cover athlete. I know this is a special moment for you. Me being a former Madden cover athlete myself, I know what it really means to grace the cover. Congrats to your teammates as well because without them, this didn’t happen. So y’all can all share this together. Keep doing you. Keep bleeding green. Keep believing in yourself. Keep trusting the process, as we say, because we know what that mean. I know 2025 will be an amazing season for you. Stay healthy and hope all is well, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Vick restricted comments on the supportive post, it did garner thousands of likes, including one from Saquon Barkley himself.<\/p>\n
