John Harbaugh on visiting President Trump
Harbaugh, who won the Super Bowl with the Ravens in 2013, visited the White House over the summer.
“How do you pose the question – I would pose the question like this: ‘Man, you had an opportunity to go visit the president. What was that experience like?'” Harbaugh said in response to a reporter asking about his visit to President Trump, who has been critical of Baltimore.

“It’s awesome. It’s awesome. I promise you, I support our president. I want our president to succeed, just like I want my quarterback to succeed, I want my team to succeed, and it’s been an amazing experience.”
His brother, Jim Harbaugh, has seen more U.S. presidents.
“He had seven and I had four. I had the opportunity to meet President Obama twice – incredible experiences. I had the opportunity to meet President Biden when he was vice president in Iraq and spent a lot of time with him in Iraq,” he said. “Jim was also invited to the White House to meet President Reagan because he was a Heisman Trophy nominee. We got to go as a family, so I met President Reagan — and there’s a picture of it in my office.”
