Eli Ricks missed out on seeing his crush, Ivanka Trump, visit the Eagles’ facility, but she left him a note he can keep forever.
Ricks, who was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Eagles after the 2023 NFL draft, went viral for commenting on Ivanka’s beauty when the Eagles took a trip to D.C. to visit the White House.
“Donald trump daughter is beautiful d**n,” Ricks posted via X last month.

He quickly followed up with a second tweet that read, “After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type.”

The message must had made it to Ivanka who returned Ricks’ compliment with a note attached to his locker.
“Stopped by to say hi!” Ivanka wrote. “Sorry to miss you! Go Birds!”

Ivanka also thanked Eagles executive Howie Roseman for letting her and her son Theo tour the facility.
“Thank you Howie Roseman, Big Dom and amazing team at the Philadelphia @Eagles 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!!” she wrote.

Ivanka is President Donald Trump’s oldest daughter — he is also the father of Donald Jr., Eric, Tiffany, and Barron Trump. Unfortunately for Ricks, Ivanka is taken. She is married to Jared Kushner and they have three children together: Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James.
While Ricks made headlines with his visit to the White House, the Eagles also caught attention for having their star player, Jalen Hurts, absent from the visit.
NBC News White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor announced on April 28 that Hurts and others would not be in attendance due to “scheduling conflicts.”
“A White House official confirms to me that @Eagles quarterback @JalenHurts will not be visiting the White House when the Super Bowl champions come later this afternoon,” Alcindor wrote...
