Wife of Rams receiver went into labor, had to be taken from stadium during Super Bowl
Van Jefferson is just never going to forget Sunday because not only did he get a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams, it looks like he got a chance to welcome a new son into the world right after the game. Because, multiple outlets reported that Jefferson’s wife, Samantha, went into labor during the game, which the Rams won, 23-20, over the Bengals. According to reports, Samantha went into labor “midway through the game,” and had to be taken out of SoFi Stadium.

That included four catches for 23 yards in the Super Bowl LVI win.

mlive.comNo. 10 Florida will be without top 4 pass catchers in Cotton
10 Florida will be without its top four pass catchers in the Cotton Bowl against eighth-ranked Oklahoma. Receivers Trevon Grimes and Kadarius Toney announced Monday they are skipping the game in Arlington, Texas, to prepare for their NFL futures. Their absences leave Florida trying to replace four guys who combined to catch 174 passes for 2,778 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2020. Pitts is expected to be a top-15 draft pick, and Grimes and Toney also could go in the early rounds. Toney might not be quite as fast as Grimes, but he's one of the shiftiest players in the country.
