Christian Super Bowl LX Players
New England Patriots
Previously, ChurchLeaders highlighted the faith stories of Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, cornerback Christian Gonzalez, and running back TreVeyon Henderson.
After winning the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 25, Maye—New England’s second-year QB—thanked “the good Lord.” On Instagram, Gonzalez wrote “1 more,” referencing the Super Bowl, and added “Psalm 16:8.”
Henderson, an Offensive Rookie of the Year nominee, took time last week to highlight the faith of children in Nigeria, where Christian persecution is rampant. “If you need hope today, meet these kids,” read a Global Christian Relief post that Henderson shared.
Here are more Christians on New England’s roster and staff:
1. Hunter Henry
Veteran tight end Hunter Henry, who’s spent half of his 10-year NFL career with the Patriots, grew up as a pastor’s son in Arkansas. “He’s the biggest example of what a man is,” Henry said of his father. “I’m just very blessed to be able to have that in my life.”
Through the NFL’s 2025 “My Cause, My Cleats” program, Henry supported International Justice Mission. He and wife Parker recently went on a mission trip to Kenya to assist survivors of slavery and trafficking.
In 2024, Henry’s “cause” was Compassion International, which his family supported while he was growing up. “Once I had the means to [sponsor children] on my own, it was the first thing I wanted to run to,” he said of the organization.
The Henrys, who are expecting their third child, baptized one another in the Jordan River in 2020. On social media, Hunter often posts Bible verses and celebrates Christian holidays.
2. Josh Dobbs
Patriots backup QB Josh Dobbs, aka the “Passtronaut,” has an aeronautical engineering degree from Tennessee. During his nine-year NFL career, he’s been “passed” throughout the league, landing in 11 places—including some repeats.
But no matter his current uniform, Dobbs knows where he belongs. “The decision I made during my sophomore year in high school—to be a part of Team Jesus—I’ll be a part of that team for the rest of my life, and for all eternity,” he said.
Dobbs, 31, said he believes in “the power of prayer” and tries to glorify God in all he does. While attending college, the QB realized, “If church is going to be a priority, if faith is a priority, I have to make it a priority. I have to go get involved in a church. I have to go be present, be willing, be involved.”
