For most NFL players, a gender reveal turns into hugs, tears, and emotional reactions, but for Andy Borregales, it somehow turned into a football drill. The New England Patriots rookie kicker delivered one of the funniest offseason moments after instantly dropping into QB formation the second he learned he was having a son.
The clip exploded across TikTok and X because the reaction was peak “football guy” behavior. Instead of celebrating normally, Borregales’ instincts completely took over. His wife, Steph, could barely believe what she was watching as the Patriots kicker immediately pretended to take a snap under center moments after the blue reveal confirmed they were expecting a baby boy.

New England Patriots place kicker Andy Borregales (36) tries to line up a practice kick, Thursday, August 21, 2025, in East Rutherford.
The viral moment came from a video shared by Steph Borregales on TikTok after the couple revealed they were expecting their first child together. As soon as the “blue powder” burst into the air, Andy’s body language changed instantly. Rather than running toward his wife for an emotional embrace, he lined up like he was preparing for a goal-line snap.

Steph later joked online that she felt slightly “insulted” by the reaction as football clearly became his first instinct before celebrating with her. That response honestly fits Borregales’ personality perfectly.
The 24-year-old kicker has built a reputation as one of the NFL’s most locked-in young specialists since entering the league. After starring at the University of Miami, Borregales joined the Patriots during the 2025 NFL season and immediately earned trust inside the organization. He finished his rookie year converting 27 of 32 field-goal attempts while helping the Patriots reach Super Bowl LX.
His journey to the NFL has already been unique. Born in Caracas, Borregales moved to the United States as a toddler before eventually becoming one of college football’s most reliable kickers. At Miami, he left as the Hurricanes’ all-time leading scorer and later became the first kicker selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Now, his offseason suddenly includes another life-changing milestone. Back on Mother’s Day, Borregales and Steph publicly announced they were expecting their first child through a maternity photoshoot shared on Instagram. The reveal quickly drew reactions from teammates, friends, and Patriots fans across social media. The couple described the baby as their “greatest blessing” while showing customized “Baby Borregales” clothing in the photos.
The latest gender reveal video only made fans love the couple even more. What makes the clip so entertaining is how naturally the moment happened. There was no setup, no staged joke, and no attempt to go viral. Borregales simply reacted the same way a football player conditioned year-round probably would. The second the pressure moment arrived, his instincts kicked in immediately.
And honestly, Patriots fans probably loved seeing that level of commitment. After all, this is the same rookie kicker who already handled snowy playoff conditions, pressure-packed game winners, and a Super Bowl appearance before turning 25. Going under center during a gender reveal somehow feels completely on brand for him.
