Rams’ Van Jefferson Picks the Perfect Name for His Baby Born During the Big Game

Rams’ Van Jefferson had one special day on February 13th!

Right after helping his team win the big game against the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, Jefferson’s wife gave birth to their baby. To top things off, the couple gave their brand new son the most fitting name: Champ.

“It wasn’t always picked,” Jefferson said of the name-picking process. “We were really thinking about ‘Wynn’ and ‘Miles’ but then it was like, I think it’s very fitting to name him Champ. And we just looked it up and Champ is like a warrior. And my wife is a warrior. What she did that whole game and what she did throughout the whole week of the Super Bowl, the week of Super Bowl being so crazy, he’s a champ and she’s a warrior, so Champ Curtis Jefferson. That’s the name we got.”

With a Sunday he will truly never forget, Jefferson explained the two big life events perfectly: “I don’t think anything will be able to top this, for sure.”
