These NFL players are feeling the support from some of their tiniest fans!
As fans cheer for their favorite players in the stands and at home, these athletes’ kids are doing their part to support their dads wearing the most adorable — and often pint-sized — team merch.
From Patrick and Brittany Mahomes‘ growing family sporting dad’s name from the sidelines to Chanel Iman‘s new bundle of joy wearing a mini Patriots dress to support dad Davon Godchaux, here are the most adorable NFL kids in their favorite team’s gear.
Patrick Mahomes
As their dad is the star quarterback on the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s no surprise that Patrick Mahomes‘ kids have their game day style down. Earlier this season, Mahomes’ wife Brittany and their two kids Bronze and Sterling posed on the sideline with Bronze wearing a mini version of his dad’s No. 15 jersey and Sterling wearing a checkered dress with “Mahomes” printed across it.
Davon Godchaux
For the first home game of the 2024 season, Chanel Iman and her youngest daughter Capri Summer were matching in New England Patriots gear to cheer on Capri’s dad Davon Godchaux, who Iman married earlier this year.
J.J. Watt
After retiring from the league, J.J. Watt was back at NRG Stadium in Houston with his son Koa dressed in a miniature version of his dad’s old jersey and wearing a pair headphones to help block out the roars of the fans.
Tom Brady
Before Tom Brady retired from the NFL, the decorated former quarterback was celebrated by the New England Patriots where he played his first 20 seasons in the league. In 2023 Brady was back at Gillette Stadium for the team’s home opener for the special ceremony and was joined by his three kids Jack, Benjamin and Vivian who were all wearing versions of their dad’s Patriots No. 12 jersey.
Russell Wilson
Though Russell Wilson now suits up for the Pittsburgh Steelers, last season, his wife Ciara shared a glimpse into their family’s game day routine from the sidelines of a Denver Broncos game where the quarterback played last season.
“Football is Family 🏈 ❤️,” the singer captioned the Instagram post that shows the couple’s kids wearing Wilson’s No. 3 jersey.
In Dec. 2023, the parents became a family of six, welcoming daughter Amora Princess Wilson.
Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins and his wife, Julie, share two sons, Cooper and Turner. Ahead of the quarterback’s first season on the Atlanta Falcons, Julie shared a photo of Turner rocking a Falcons t-shirt alongside his mom and dad on the field.
“Year 13… we are ready for you!!!!,” Julie wrote alongside the sweet photo. “So proud of @kirkcousins and excited to watch him shine this season!:
Matthew Stafford
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a girl dad through and through, sharing his four daughters with wife Kelly Stafford. For a 2024 Wild Card game, all four girls wore jackets made by Tonguetied Apparel that read, “Detroit born, LA raised” — referencing their dad’s previous team the Detroit Lions who he faced that day on the field. The jackets, of course, also featured their Stafford’s jersey number 9.
Van Jefferson
Back in August, Samaria Jefferson celebrated husband Van Jefferson’s fifth year in the league by sharing a carousel of photos of their kids visiting dad at practice. In the family photo, the new Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver poses with the couple’s newborn daughter, Olivia, and their three older children who were all repping dad’s new black and yellow merch.
Matt Barkley
Even though Matt Barkley was no longer a part of the Buffalo Bills, in 2023 the quarterback shared a super cute carousel of photos of his three kids suited up in Bills costumes.
“Can we still cheer for the Bills on Sunday??,” he wrote in part alongside the series of photos.
