The Eagles are a few months removed from their second Super Bowl title, but they have more celebrating to do.
On Monday, the team is set to visit the White House for a ceremony that plenty of Super Bowl champions have participated in. President Donald Trump will make remarks and highlight the team's accomplishments, and there are sure to be a viral moment or two from the event.
Heading into the event, two of the most well-known Eagles have been at the forefront of the visit to D.C. Running back Saquon Barkley, coming off one of the greatest rushing seasons of all time, responded to criticism for making the trip to the White House early and spending time with Trump. The attendance of quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Super Bowl 59 MVP, is up in the air after he refused to say recently whether he'd be showing up in D.C.

Did the Eagles visit the White House in 2018?
When the Eagles won their first Super Bowl with a win over the Patriots in 2018, they did not visit the White House. Donald Trump was in his first term as president at the time.
The White House canceled the visit just one day before it was scheduled in 2018, as there was a national anthem dispute between members of the team and the president. In a statement on the event being canceled, Trump said some then-Eagles "disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem, hand on heart."
Members of the 2018 Eagles to say they wouldn't attend the White House ceremony included Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Long and Brandon Graham.
The Eagles also released a statement and planned to send a smaller group of players to D.C. to visit the White House, rather than have a team ceremony. At the time, the NFL Players Association released a statement that said it was "disappointed" by the decision to cancel the ceremony.
