 Throughout his storied tenure in the NFL, Russell has achieved unimaginable success on the gridiron. With a dynamic skill set and unique leadership qualities, he has established himself as a preeminent figure not only in football but also in entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and entertainment. 

Knowing who he is and whose he is - is the reason he will always be the top pick and topic of conversation.

We want to know what was Russell’s prayer? We don’t like to scream “couple goals,” but it’s hard not to admire Russell's love for his wife, Ciara, and their small football team of four children.

 To keep their love alive,Russell tells us that prayer and active faith are the foundation that he and his wife stood on from the moment he proposed. “When I asked her to marry me, once she said yes, I said, ‘Before we go do this, can we pray? I want to make sure we always put God at the center of it all,’” he recalls. “And so I think the thing that hopefully exudes from our love is that, listen, love is never perfect. But we continue to try to put God first and pray over each other. 

We have these four beautiful children that we get to protect. But we continue to try to put God first and pray over each other. 

We have these four beautiful children that we get to raise every day and it’s the greatest gift in the world.”
