Just recently, Kelly Stafford came out with a shocking confession about her past with Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford. This prompted sports analyst Stephen A. Smith to call her out for what she did during their college days.
Born in Tampa, Florida in 1988, Stafford grew up in Dunwoody, Georgia and Dallas, Texas, where he attended Highland Park High School. During this period, he was one of the top-ranked high school quarterbacks in the country.
Matthew Stafford played college football at the University of Georgia, where he was named a first-team All-American in 2008. He was then selected first overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2009 NFL Draft. Serving as the Lions’ starting quarterback from 2009 to 2020, Stafford had a standout season in 2011, throwing for over 5,000 yards and leading the team to their first playoff appearance since 1999. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2014 and set the NFL record for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in a season in 2016.
After parting ways with the Lions, Stafford was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 and led the team to victory in Super Bowl LVI. He is currently fifth all-time in passing yards per game and the fastest player to reach 40,000 career passing yards in the NFL.
Matthew Stafford met his wife Kelly during his tenure as the starting quarterback for the University of Georgia Bulldogs. Kelly, who was a former University of Georgia cheerleader, married Matthew in 2015. Together, they have four daughters. In 2019, Kelly shared publicly that she had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Matthew took a leave of absence from the NFL to be by her side during her surgery and recovery, demonstrating strong support for his wife during a challenging time.
While Smith may have an issue with Kelly’s admission, the Los Angeles Rams star isn’t that vocal about the issue. In any case, that issue won’t have any bearing at all for Stafford, especially with his focus set on the upcoming 2024-25 season.
