Kelly Stafford, podcast host and wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has set the sports world talking with her thought-provoking comments on the presence of significant others at the NFL Draft. During an April 24 episode of The Morning After, Stafford shared her perspective, shedding light on what she sees as the potential pitfalls of including a partner in such a momentous occasion.
Stafford reflected on her own experience when Matthew was drafted first overall by the Detroit Lions in 2009-a night she did not attend. Now, as a mother of four daughters, Stafford admitted her stance has evolved over time. “I didn’t really understand the situation when he was going through it,” she explained on the podcast, “but then as I get older… I kind of understand.”

Her primary concern centers around the permanence of draft photos that feature girlfriends or boyfriends, warning that relationships can sometimes fade while the images remain. Stafford likened this scenario to weddings, where including a sibling’s unengaged partner in family photos could create awkward moments down the line.
The dates have everyone talking
Stafford’s comments coincide with the highly anticipated 2025 NFL Draft at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Many prospects brought their significant others to the event, embracing the opportunity to share the stage with loved ones. Travis Hunter, the former Colorado Buffaloes star selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, was accompanied by his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, who proudly stood beside him on the red carpet.
For Stafford, the discussion is not about excluding partners but rather about taking a thoughtful approach to an athlete’s professional milestone. Her remarks have sparked a broader conversation about traditions at high-stakes events like the NFL Draft, where the merging of personal and professional lives becomes part of the spectacle.
In the world of sports, where narratives and images last well beyond the moment, Kelly Stafford’s reflections serve as a reminder to consider the long-term impact of decisions made during life’s defining milestones. Whether her perspective resonates or divides opinion, it certainly invites athletes, families, and fans to rethink the customs surrounding the NFL Draft.

All has been quiet around the Chicago Blackhawks’ coaching search.What that means is unclear. Something usually leaks in coaching searches and it hasn’t with the Blackhawks.
