### **Andrew Billings**
When it comes to the newest dad of the D-line, [Andrew Billings](/team/players-roster/andrew-billings/) is the winner, becoming a father to his son, Andrew Jr., just three weeks ago.
"It means a lot," Billings said. "It's a challenge. When that baby looks at you, he's challenging you personally to do better. So it's gonna be a long road, a long lesson, but you just take it day-by-day, really.
Having a family has always the plan for Billings, a goal that stemmed from his relationship with his own father. While Billings said most people thought his father was strict growing up, due to his stern face, he describes his dad as "easy-going." Some of their best memories include traveling together for his father's job, taking annual business trips to Washington, D.C. and California.
Taking his son on trips of their own is a tradition Billings is excited to keep alive. Another part of fatherhood he's eager to reach is teaching his son how to cut the grass. Until his son grows old enough for those activities, Billings' focus remains simple: figure out his sleep schedule.
Luckily, Billings has four other dads in the defensive line room he can turn to for assistance. So far, Dexter has been coaching Billings Iup, teaching him theories and tricks on sleep schedules. His biggest advice to Andrew: "Swaddling. Put him in the crib, swaddle, put him in the crib. Let him make his little noises and go to sleep."
