Super Bowl LX: 8 Christian NFL Players and Coaches To Watch

3. Andy Borregales

Venezuela native Andrés “Andy” Borregales, New England’s kicker, is heading to the Super Bowl as a rookie. “Not too many people could say that, and again, just praise God for that,” the 23-year-old said. Borregales, who’s been clutch during the playoffs, credits his relationship with God for helping him stay focused amid all the pressure.

“I just try to stay level-headed,” Borregales said last month. “I’m here for a reason. God put me in this position to showcase the blessings that he gave me. I’m just trying to be a blessing and go out there and do my job.”

Borregales and wife Stephanie often share Scripture verses on social media. The couple also are active in a local church’s youth ministry. “Because of the platform that I have, I want to give back,” said the kicker. “I just want to be there for [the kids] and [let them] know they have someone to lean on.”

4. Head Coach Mike Vrabel

After winning three Super Bowl rings as a Patriots player, Mike Vrabel now hopes to win one as the team’s head coach. Vrabel, 50, spent six years coaching the Tennessee Titans before New England hired him.

Vrabel was raised Catholic but said his faith took a backseat to athletics during college. He credits wife Jen, whom he met at Ohio State, with reminding him about the importance of regular worship. The couple raised their boys to make faith “an active part of their lives,” Vrabel said.

While playing football, Vrabel said he relied on his faith to deal with the demands as well as the opportunities. As a coach, he turns to God to help him manage the day-to-day stress of “a very competitive business.”

While coaching in Nashville, Vrabel supported the local Catholic diocese but was “very under the radar about it,” according to Father Ed Steiner. “He was never pushy about religion, but he felt like the players needed to have a religious home.”

Steiner added, “Football is temporary; your faith is forever. [Coach Vrabel] was a pretty good guide for the players in that way.”
