**3\. His wife went into labor during the Super Bowl.**
Jefferson had one of the best days of his life back in 2022. He and the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl following a 12-5 regular season finish, but more importantly, he welcomed one of his three sons into the world.
Here's the catch, though: his wife, Samaria Jefferson, went into labor during the game.
So, Jefferson didn't have much time to celebrate with his teammates, because as soon as the game was over, he had to rush to the hospital to be with his wife.
Jefferson's family and the Rams' support staff were told not to inform him during the game if Samaria went into labor. So, once the game was over, the Rams Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Joanna Hunter, rushed over to tell him the news. Jefferson rushed out of the stadium and to the hospital but had to watch Samaria give birth over FaceTime. He arrived just in time to have skin-to-skin contact with his newborn son, Champ.
Jefferson said the day was "a blur," and he still gets asked about it all the time. He doesn't mind it, though, because he likes to relive the memory.
"It was an experience that I'll never forget," Jefferson said. "It's something that was very special to me. I got the best of both worlds in one day."
