Jalen Virgil's balancing act: Can he excel on the field while being a new dad?

Jalen Virgil is very new to the NFL but considering the first catch of his career was a 66-yard touchdown, we can expect some big things in the future. Jalen was the lone drafted free agent to make the Denver Broncos‘ initial 53-man roster in August 2022. The wide receiver has already created a buzz not only with his game but also with his love life. Who is the rookie’s long-time sweetheart Maddie Lewis?

Virgil may soon be a regular on the gridiron and his sweetheart, Maddie Lewis, is also likely to be in the stands cheering him on. So, we should know more about the wide receiver’s cheerleader. The return specialist has often posted pictures of his love on his social media handle, expressing his love. Through his social media pictures, they look very happy and jolly together. They enjoy exploring different places together and are always on the move.

Very little is known about Maddie Lewis because Virgil has just played nine games. But we can be pretty sure if and when he shines brighter on the gridiron, his love life will also come to the forefront. Maddie has a private Instagram handle with nearly 3000 followers. Her Instagram bio says, ‘Mom, Teacher & Coach 🤱🏼📚🏐🏀🥎⛳️‘. This could mean that she is a teacher or a coach by profession. She also has multiple sports equipment in her bio but then again, this is all a speculation.

The star from Appalachian University has constantly expressed how blessed he feels to have a chance to play in the NFL. But it seems his blessings have manifested way beyond the field in the form of his love and child. In September 2022, he welcomed his successor with his sweetheart. The couple seem to be happy and thriving.

A strong support system is a must when you are thrusting forward in your career. Maddie holds down the fort while the 210-pounder is out trying to make it big in his career. He had a great career in his university days and hopes to replicate the same in the NFL. He has no intention of letting his family down, especially after his amazing performance in his debut game.

Have an interesting take?

When one of the greatest dual-threat QBs praises you, you know you can be someone special. After his first game, Russell Wilson took to Twitter to say, Congrats Young King @jayvirg81. Many more touchdowns to come. Keep Believing.” In the picture, Jalen is hugging his teammates in a jocund mood. The QB threw a long pass to him and he caught it and nailed the touchdown. This put his team in an early lead in their game against the Tennessee Titans.

Jalen had this to say after the game about his performance, “It was awesome. [Quarterback Russell Wilson] checked to a play where we all pushed it vertical down the field, and I popped up open and Russ gave me a good ball, and I was able to finish it.” The Head coach, Nathaniel Hackett, was also impressed by the WR’s ability to make big plays. This means he might get more shots in the future.

Although they lost the game, No. 17 seems to be doing well. With his impressive first game, he is likely to get chances in the future. And when you have a child to inspire, your love to make proud, and a team that is banking on you, you have to rise to the occasion. And if JV continues to work hard, there is no reason to doubt that he will rise to the occasion.
