After revealing he was "shocked" to have been included on Donald Trump's new council, Saquon Barkley speaks out, admitting he was "shocked."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley has declined an invitation to join President Donald Trump’s council on sports, fitness, and nutrition, which is being revitalized under an executive order that also reestablishes the Presidential Fitness Test for American children.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley says he was “definitely a little shocked” to hear his name associated with former President Donald Trump’s newly formed National Sports Council—especially since, according to him, he turned the opportunity down.
