The Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy would not have been here if he listened to his mother’s advice. She wanted him to take care of himself, and not play the violent game. But he loved the game. Even when his parents split, he found peace in the game.

It was his only outlet to take out any hidden negative feelings. Years later, his life changed when he was selected into the NFL. But this would not have happened without his parents’ support. They were there at every moment to guide him.

Who are Tercius and Marie Jeudy?

When she was only 14, Marie came to the USA from Haiti. When she got married to Tercius Jeudy, the couple started their family. They had 4 children, the eldest son Terry, and daughter, Diane, followed by the 3rd child, Jerry Jeudy, and 4th daughter, Aaliyah. They later divorced each other when Jerry was young.

However, Marie made sure that everything was in order. She sold purses and lotions from her car to earn money. She often took them back to Haiti so that they stayed connected to their roots. But she did not want Jerry Jeudy to play the sport. Though he initially agreed, he later started sneaking out of his house to play at a place called Bank Street. There, he also met Lamar Jackson who taught him how to juke.

When Marie found out, she was angry, but she let him play the game. He did well for himself as he went to play in the NCAA for Alabama. She was there with him then, too. His father Tercius stayed in touch with him and his siblings and made sure that they were on the right track.

The family was united when his name was there in the 2020 NFL Draft. For the first time, he had the money to help his family.

Jerry Jeudy claims himself to be a “Mama’s Boy”?

“You are a mama’s boy,” his siblings often taunted him when he was young. But he often proudly said, “I’m a mama’s boy.” These words proved to be true with what he did after the Broncos drafted the 6′ 1″, 195 pounds athlete in the 2020 NFL Draft. The entire family was overjoyed with his 4-year, $15.2 million contract.

After becoming an NFL player, he said, “She do everything for me. Now it’s time for me to do everything for her.” On her birthday in 2020, he told her to find a house and he would buy it for her. So, she went house shopping, finally choosing a 5-bedroom house that cost the receiver $300,000. However, he also gifted her a $80k BMW X7 to show his appreciation for her love.

Jerry Jeudy also loves his father very much. He also bought a $50,000 Nissan Truck for him. That’s great. All in all, his parents succeeded in giving all the moral values to their son, including humility and gratitude. He is now enjoying his 5th year in the world’s biggest football league.
