Green Bay Packers Legend Will See Son Compete In World Cup
Although Antonio Freeman caught an 81-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre in Super Bowl 31, he says it wouldn’t even compare to watching his own son win a World Cup.
If you were unaware, 21-year-old Alex Freeman is a member of Team USA’s soccer team. His team will play in the world’s biggest and most watched sporting event just days from now.
“It’s no comparison. I mean, and to be honest, to reach the platform that he’s reached, my Super Bowl was very special, but there’s still no comparison to where he is right now as a 21-year-old, you know, picked and selected as one of the 26 best in the United States of America to represent your team, something I never got a chance to do. So he’s among another echelon of elite and him by far.”
It was an excellent response from dad who is obviously very proud of his son’s accomplishment.
Antonio has achieved more than just winning a Super Bowl. In 1997, he played a crucial role in Green Bay’s victory over the Patriots. In spite of having only three catches, Freeman accumulated 105 receiving yards, including the aforementioned 81-yard touchdown catch. Antonio also discussed what it is like to watch his son.
“Now I understand what my parents went through.”
“You know, my hair stands up on my arm. You know, my stomach is uneasy. You know, it’s just an array of emotions that really takes over every time I see him walk out and get on that pitch and get to do something that he loves to do and he’s worked so hard for. And, man, as a parent, it’s nothing like that. You know, just seeing your kids be successful and be successful and love what they do.”
