You can’t have a season of “The Bachelorette” without talking football and this season is no different. In fact, the love connection between the sport and the show may be stronger than the actual love connection at the final rose ceremony. Here are the sporty gentlemen to keep an eye out for in this season.

No I in team,

The Last Night’s Game Team


Jason Foster

Jason Foster may have popped out of the limo last night with a giant (fake) beer/baby belly but don’t let him fool you, he is almost half the man he used to be. Foster played football in college and then signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2013-2014. He then went to play in the Canadian Football League for the BC Lions from 2014-2016. He hung up his cleats in 2016 and focused on his health. During his playing days he weighed in at 300 pounds and has since dropped 120 pounds, which is probably the equivalent to Clare. WIN SOME, LOSE SOME

Uzoma "Eazy” Nwachukwu

Last but certainly not least is Uzoma "Eazy” Nwachukwu aka the guy in the pink suit on last night's episode. Eazy played in college at Texas A&M and even though he went undrafted, he signed with the Houston Texans. He played for a few other teams in his career but never appeared in a regular season game. Now you can find him on the other side of the ball in his role as a sports agent. AN EAZY CAREER TRANSITION

Dale Moss

Let’s start with the guy who is rumored to tackle Clare’s heart right from the start, Dale Moss. Moss played collegiately with South Dakota State, went undrafted and signed with the Green Bay Packers. (Coincidentally that’s where former Bachelorette suitor and former NFL player Jordan Rodgers’ brother Aaron Rodgers plays). Moss bounced around after the Packers and retired in 2014. It seems he’s made quite the career for himself as a model, actor and “sought after media personality.” Even more impressive than that is his involvement with Special Olympics where he serves as an ambassador. His older sister Amber has an intellectual disability and is physically disabled and he remembers the confidence Special Olympics instilled in her. STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
