Following the Philadelphia Eagles' 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, running back Saquon Barkley commemorated the occasion by unveiling a custom chain featuring his jersey number, 26. The chain, which is composed of over 200 carats, was showcased in a video posted by renowned jeweler Benny the Jeweler on Instagram.

At 29 years old, Barkley celebrated his birthday on the same day as the Super Bowl and has consistently worn No. 26 since his rookie season with the New York Giants. His performance played a crucial role in the Eagles' championship pursuit, contributing significantly throughout the season. Though he rushed for 57 yards without a touchdown in the Super Bowl, Barkley concluded the regular season with a remarkable total of 2,005 rushing yards, leading the league and recording 13 touchdowns on 345 carries. Additionally, he achieved a notable milestone by surpassing Terrell Davis' all-time records for the most rushing yards (2,504) and scrimmage yards (2,857) in a single regular and postseason combined, reaching the necessary 30 rushing yards to break the record in the first half of the Super Bowl.

Regarding his accomplishments, Barkley remarked, "To be honest, the most important thing was winning the Super Bowl because if we didn't win the Super Bowl today, all those accolades and all those yards wouldn't mean anything." His fellow teammate, left tackle Jordan Mailata, highlighted Barkley's exceptional work ethic and impact on the offense, emphasizing that he embodies the essence of a special player. As the Eagles look ahead, the team is favored to return to the Super Bowl next season, with the best odds in the league currently standing at +600, potentially paving the way for Barkley to represent his No. 26 in consecutive Super Bowl appearances.
