Trey McBride may not be a household name among NFL fans, but he may soon be.
The tight end from Colorado State University is expected to be selected in the NFL Draft, which kicks off Thursday in Las Vegas. He’ll also become the first NFL player with same-sex parents. McBride is one of five kids Kate McBride has with her longtime partner, Jen. They are beaming with pride for their son.
Trey blossomed into one of the premiere tight ends in all of college football. A unanimous All-American last season, he led Division 1 in receptions and yards, en route to winning the John Mackey Award, given out annually to the top tight end in the country. He says his parents established a backbone for his own growth.
When it came to concerns about kids picking on their children because they have same-sex parents, Kate and Jen tried to hammer home a message of love.
