Saquon Barkley’s girlfriend Anna Congdon found herself going viral ahead of Sunday’s NFL playoff showdown between the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings.
Congdon, Barkley’s longtime partner, is one of the most private girlfriends in the entire NFL.
Whereas someone like Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s wife often finds herself trending for her wild outfit choices, Congdon maintains more of a low profile.
Which isn’t to say she doesn’t set the internet ablaze in her own special ways, though. Congdon has nearly 90,000 followers across social media for a reason. People enjoy her content as well.
Whether she is going viral at Giants games, stealing the show with her various displays of support or hyping up her man like only she can – Congdon is reasonably public when she wants to be.
She just opts to go that route less than some of her NFL wife-and-girlfriend counterparts.
Nothing speaks to that fact more than Congdon’s preference for Instagram stories over standard posts. This is her last standard post:

It is nearly 70 weeks old.
When Congdon does opt to share content, her posts do great engagement numbers:

Clearly fans love what she is putting out. It stacks up quite nicely to what Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett’s fiancée gets on her wild posts, or what San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s girlfriend and sister manage to accumulate when they go crazy on Instagram.
The Giants obviously head into Sunday’s showdown against Minnesota as heavy underdogs. That said, this group has shown incredible resilience over the past year.
And no one encapsulates that spirit better than Barkley himself.

In 2020 he played all of two games. In 2021, he played 13 and amassed 593 yards and two touchdowns on 162 attempts. This season? In 2022-23, Barkley rushed for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns.
That is how you bounce back.
Regardless of what happens against Minnesota, it is easy to see why Congdon is always so proud of her beau.
