Life comes at you faster than you’d think. One minute, you’re sacking quarterbacks, and the next, you’re stepping into a whole new chapter—hanging up your cleats and focusing on family. That’s exactly where former Raiders DE Isaac Rochell found himself. After spending seven seasons in the league, mostly as a backup, he decided to call it a career when the Raiders waived him in 2023, swapping the locker room grind for something even bigger—life with his growing family.
But here’s the catch—Rochell had to consider his retirement just a couple of weeks before the birth of his daughter, Scottie Bee. Now that’s where things took a turn for his wife, Allison Kuch. See, being the No. 1 fan girl of Rochell, Allison dreamt of bringing their daughter to one of his games. But life had other plans as the 29-year-old DE ended his NFL career just a couple of weeks before their daughter’s birth. The kicker?
Well, luckily, Rochell started the next chapter of his life for his wife and daughter. And let’s just say, little Scottie Bee is now competing against her mom to claim the title of “Isaac Rochell’s number 1 fan.” Oh no, the NFL legend isn’t entering the coaching world—at least for now. In fact, the guy has entered the broadcasting world. A few days ago, Rochell revealed that he’ll be joining the Good Morning Football show.

Yeah, you read that absolutely right. And guess what? His daughter is pretty excited to cheer for her dad. A week ago, Allison took to her IG handle and shared a clip where she shared the new dream of Rochell for his wife and family. “My husband played in the NFL for 7 years and I always dreamt of bringing our daughter to one of his games,” Allison wrote. “But unfortunately, his time in the NFL came to an end just two weeks before my due date & it made me sad that she wasn’t included in this chapter.”
Allison spent years hyping up her husband, just waiting for the day she could do it with their daughter. But plot twist—right when that moment was about to happen, Rochell called it a career. Definitely not the ending she had in mind, huh? But now? Well, Scottie Bee finally got a chance to cheer for her dad—except instead of cheering from the sidelines, she’d be watching her dad at home. And this time, not for a DE on the gridiron, but for an analyst behind the camera.
“But then today, I got a glimpse of our next chapter,” Allison wrote. And just like that, you could see little Scottie Bee waving at her dad (while he was on the Good Morning Football) with her tiny hands and just one word constantly popping out of her mouth—“Dada! Dada!” And Allison? Yeah, she couldn’t help but admire her daughter as she was watching her dad on the TV screen. After all, the former NFL DE has now entered the broadcasting world.
