People often ask me, “What does it feel like to have a son that plays in the NFL?”

My answer, “It feels Amazing!” Four years later, it still feels unreal.

When I turn on the television, it’s so exciting to see my son, Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos ILB, on the field; making such a big impact each time he plays.

There is nothing better than attending a game. I love interacting with the fans. I still can’t believe that they approach me and ask to take pictures with me; some even ask for my autograph! Imagine that?! They tell me that I’m famous, but I don’t see myself that way.

Recently, Brandon was awarded the Darrent Williams Good Guy Award. What a huge honor! I am so proud! Brandon is a wonderful person and an even better son. I am so proud of Brandon and the work he does on and off the field.

I’m just happy to watch my son doing what he loves everyday and so proud to say, “I am an NFL Mom!”
