Berkley will be one of the Eagles players and personnel who will win the Super Bowl title at the White House on Monday.
Berkley didn't talk to reporters, but he was strolling around with the president and others at Bedminster Golf Course in Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump revoked his invitation to host the Eagles after several players said they would not be taking part in the visit due to previous criticism of the national anthem protest.
