Kelly Stafford has been a constant in his husband Matthew Stafford’s life, supporting the Los Angeles Rams’ starting quarterback since his time in Georgia. The bond only grew stronger after the pair got married in 2015.
Now parents to four daughters, Kelly reflected on their journey as Matthew embarked on year 17 in the NFL.
What did Kelly Say on Matthew’s NFL Journey With Family Post?
Kelly shared a heartfelt Instagram post on Sunday about life after to commemorate 17 years of her husband Matthew’s NFL career. She posted photos capturing family moments with their daughters, with the primary photo featuring the couple with all four daughters at SoFi Stadium before one of the Rams’ games.
“Just another Sunday.Crazy how when he started this, the only thing I worried about was what our friends and I were gonna pack in the cooler for the tailgate. Now it’s supporting our girls in their games, racing to Matthew’s, and hopefully having cocktails after getting there. Sundays are different, but I’ve loved all the different Sundays we have had the past 17 years. especially winning ones with family ❤️.” Kelly also shared other photos of their family, including the girls at soccer training and meeting Rams’ mascot Rampage.
The Staffords met when they were both students at the University of Georgia. Kelly was involved in football as the sister of former NFL player Chad Hall. The Staffords now have four girls, the eldest being eight-year-old twins Sawyer and Chandler, Hunter is seven, and the youngest is five-year-old Tyler.
Stafford’s Career From Georgia to Detroit to Los Angeles
Matthew Stafford was always touted for greatness. He was the top-ranked quarterback in his high school class and had a highly successful college football career with the Georgia Bulldogs.
Kelly was with Matthew as he was drafted 1st overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft. Stafford would spend 12 seasons in Detroit, and despite his impressive individual numbers, the team would only make the playoffs three times during those 12 years.
The Staffords would then move to Los Angeles after Matthew was traded to the Rams in the 2021 offseason. He would lead the Rams to Super Bowl success in his first year with the team, the franchise’s second Super Bowl victory.
Matthew was the subject of offseason speculation, but signed a restructured deal to stay with the Rams. The Rams are 3-1 to start the season, having taken down the previously undefeated Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. In this week’s Thursday Night Football matchup, they face division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers.
