The 25-year-old was then told, after the game, that his wife was in labor and made a hasty exit from SoFi Stadium to be by her side. However, such was the traffic, the wide-out was forced to watch his wife give birth to their son via FaceTime while stuck in traffic.
The newly crowned Super Bowl champion was a guest on the Adam Schefter podcast and revealed the unique name for his son, and to say it is fitting would be an understatement.
Van Jefferson had a Super Bowl to remember
The 25-year-old had a Sunday he will never forget. Jefferson won his first Super Bowl as the Rams defeated Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Then, just hours later, he became a father.
Some would say it was the perfect way to end the season, although the receiver did miss the birth of his son and was forced to watch it via FaceTime. It is likely that the NFL will never see such a unique moment happen again.
The reciever caught four passes for 23 yards in the Super Bowl as he won his first ring. It will be hard for the 25-year-old to pick between which moment is better – becoming a father or a Super Bowl champion?
Either way, the Jefferson family will long remember the crazy events that happened on Super Bowl Sunday as Justin’s win coincided with the incredible story of how their son was brought into the world.
