Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh spoke highly of his recent visit with President Donald Trump at the White House during a press conference Wednesday.
Harbaugh and brother John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and their families made the trip to D.C.
“That was great,” Harbaugh said of his trip.
“There’s a lot of gratitude there to be invited to the White House to meet the president with my family, my mom and dad. President Trump was just great to my mom and dad. That meant so much. My brother John; his daughter Allison; my two daughters, Addie and Katie; and my sister Joanie; and my niece Ainsley. So, there’s nine of us, and it was great.
“I mean, who gets invited to the White House with eight other family members and doesn’t go? Nobody.”
Harbaugh said Trump was the seventh United States president he has met.
