Ivanka Trump made quite an impression on one Philadelphia Eagle who visited the White House Monday.
The married 43-year-old mother of three is 23-year-old cornerback Eli Ricks‘ “type,” according to the backup defensive player.
“Donald trump daughter is beautiful damn [sic],” Ricks posted in social media after seeing President Trump’s eldest daughter.

Many members of the championship team were honored by the President for their surprise victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in February. While some players chose not to make the short trip, Ricks seemed glad he did.
“After seeing her in person Ivanka is exactly my type,” he continued on X.
Ivanka has been married to real estate heir Jared Kushner since 2009. Some X users warned Ricks he may want to be careful about offending President Trump with his comments about the Commander-in-Chief’s daughter, though Donald Trump has also complimented Ivanka on her looks.
“If Ivanka weren’t my daughter perhaps I’d be dating her,” he said during a 2006 appearance on “The View.”
Ricks also reposted photos of Ivanka at the White House on X after his visit. On Instagram, the former University of Alabama player included video of himself posing next to a portrait of Trump during his team’s visit.
Some Eagles players including Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts chose not to visit the Trump White House. Former Giants running back Saquon Barkley found himself playing defense when critics attacked him for making the trip and golfing with the 47th President
“Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand,” he wrote online.
Ivanka posted video online of her youngest son racing Barkley on the White House lawn, but made no mention of Ricks.
