President Trump's daughter left special surprise during Eagles visit

The Philadelphia Eagles have received a lot of attention from one of America's wealthiest families after winning the Super Bowl back in February.

Last month, the Eagles visited the White House, where President Donald Trump congratulated the team on their 14-3 season and Super Bowl win. This was the Eagles' organization's first trip to the White House as they did not after their 2018 Super Bowl title.

President Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, her son Theo, and his flag football team stopped by the Eagles' facility on Friday. In a social media post on X, Trump thanked the organization for having her and her son's team there for a visit, with special shoutouts to Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and the team's senior advisor to the general manager/chief security officer, and director of gameday coaching operations, Dom "Big Dom" DiSandro.

"Thank you Howie Roseman, Big Dom and amazing team at the Philadelphia for an epic tour of your incredible training facility today !"

"My son Theo and his flag football team had a day they will never forget !!"

This would not be the only thing that happened at the Eagles' facility, as one of the team's young defensive backs got a surprise left in his locker.

What surprise did Ivanka Trump leave for one of the Eagles' defensive backs?

Before the Eagles visited the White House last month, defensive back Eli Ricks sent a viral post on X with over five million impressions. Ricks had shared his admiration for Ivanka Trump.

"Donald trump daughter is beautiful damn"

This led to what happened on Friday, when Trump went to his locker and left him a note with a short message on a piece of paper.

"Stopped by to say hi! Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!"

Ricks has been a role player in the Eagles' secondary after going unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Alabama. In 23 career games, he has accumulated 21 tackles, three pass deflections, one tackle for loss for Philadelphia.

It's been a banner year for Ricks in 2025, with winning the Super Bowl and getting a note from what appears to be his crush. Now he has to focus on what is happening on the field and win a roster spot in a deep cornerback room.
