Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson announced on Tuesday the organization will visit President Donald Trump at the White House on June 5 to celebrate their Super Bowl LII victory over the New England Patriots.
"We're excited to be going," Pederson told reporters. "At the same time, it's an individual decision (for the players)."
Deena Zaru of CNN previously noted safety Malcolm Jenkins, defensive end Chris Long and wide receiver Torrey Smith are among the Eagles players expected to skip the trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Carson Wentz spoke to reporters Tuesday, giving his thoughts on the ceremony:
"For me, personally, if the team decides as a whole, most guys want to go or be a part of it, I'll be attending with them. I think it's just a cool way to receive the honor nationally and be recognized. I don't personally view it - I know some people do, everyone has their opinion on it - I don't view it as a political thing whatsoever. I don't mess with politics very often. But I will be involved in going. The rest of the details will be coming out soon."
