Yep, that’s a picture Jake took in the SAN DIEGO CHARGERS locker room today! Yeah, that’s right! Our boy is a tight end for the San Diego Chargers!
We are so grateful to God for this blessing. Thank you all for your prayers. After playing a great pre-season game on Thursday, Jake got cut from the Houston Texans, but was picked up on Sunday by the San Diego Chargers. Not bad, Jake! Even Tim Tebow and many others who got cut didn’t get picked up by another team. The NFL is not for the faint of heart! What a crazy few days with lots of prayers. On Monday Jake plays his first game against guess who? The Texans. Lol!
Romans 8:28 is coming to my mind. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
About the photo above: Sent a group text to the kids this morning. Jake replied with the above photo and: “Guess who is also rocking the 81.”
Youngest son Nick is #81 (For the Ragin Cajuns-University of Louisiana-Lafayette).
Nick texted: That’s what I’m talking about.
Then Jake texted back: I thought for once I’d copy you.
Betsy and I replied: Awwww!!!
What keepers these kids are, right?! So sweet that Jake took his younger brothers college number. In high school, Nick took Jake’s high school number, #1. Here’s both boys at a football camp Nick attended. Big brother giving little brother some advice. Picture taken by daughter Betsy.
We are all so excited abut this news about Jake and so proud of him for so many reasons. Jake has type one diabetes and really wants to do what he can for the diabetes community. His twitter reads: Jake Byrne San Diego Charger, Former Wisconsin TE, Type 1 Diabetic. Passion for helping youth with diabetes, feel free to ask me questions and advice.
Follow Jake on Twitter @sugarfreejb82 and you can follow my blog for future updates too!
Thanks be to God for this wonderful news! Going to be a great football season! Go Chargers! Go Ragin Cajuns! Go #81s!

Nick, with the Ragin Cajuns, plays the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville at three today! Go get ’em Nick! Check out his awesome video below that made the news! He’s the one who caught the ball. An a side note: Nick played high school football in Arkansas and the Razorback’s head coach, Brett Bielma was Jake’s coach at Wisconsin. Let the fun begin!
