Throughout Josh Dobbs’ NFL journey, one constant has been his girlfriend, Jocelyn Lara, who’s been there through thick and thin. Since he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017, Dobbs has bounced around teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, and Arizona Cardinals before landing with the Minnesota Vikings.

His recent move to the Vikings came after Kirk Cousins’ Achilles injury. Through it all, Lara has been his rock. She has been a supportive partner in the rollercoaster world of professional football. But who exactly is she, and what does she do?

Inside the life of Jocelyn Lara

Jocelyn Lara is a proud American from Chelsea, Massachusetts. She grew up with her siblings, Jessica and Arnold, there. Further, she was born on December 10, 1996, and is now 26 as of February 2024. Lara keeps her net worth private as she does not have a job that discloses salaries. So, she chooses to keep it that way. Dobbs, on the other hand, reportedly boasts a tidy sum of around $3 million.

Lara’s career path has seen her as an account manager at Generation Adidas International since October 2022. She puts her supply chain and marketing degree to good use. She’s also passionate about the NFL Women’s Careers in Football Forum. She’s often seen working to open doors for women in football operations. Before that, Lara lent her talents as an executive assistant at the University of Minnesota.

Now, the question remains: how did the two meet each other? What’s their love story?
