Two NFL stars kicked off their weekends by getting baptized ahead of their games Sunday.
Before Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter headed to EverBank Stadium for the Jaguars’ home game against the Seattle Seahawks, he stopped at Celebration Church.
There, Hunter was baptized just hours before the game. A Video of Hunter’s baptism was shared on social media.
“It’s Sunday. It’s God’s day. I’ve been planning to go get baptized for a minute. I changed my life over to become a better man,” Hunter said Sunday
Hunter had four receptions for 15 yards on offense and two tackles on defense in the Jaguars’ 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.
For the rookie two-way player, his baptism “means a lot,” he said.
“I’m becoming a better man and leaving my old self and starting a new chapter,” he said.
Hunter wasn’t the only NFL star to get baptized this weekend.
On Friday, Kansas City Chiefs receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and his fiancée, Zoei Billions, were baptized at Journey Church.
Chiefs team chaplain Marcellus Casey baptized Brown, and Casey’s wife, Stephanie Casey, baptized Billion, according to Sport Spectrum.
Brown posted a video of his baptism on Tiktok.
On Sunday, Brown scored two touchdowns for the Chiefs in the team’s 30-17 victory over the Detroit Lions.
“All glory to God really. I just got baptized Friday, so this whole weekend’s been amazing for me,” he said.
