Love is in the air for the NFL world! Fans were recently delighted by the heartwarming surprise proposal between two lovebirds. Bailey Zappe, the talented American football quarterback for the New England Patriots, recently popped the question to his long-time girlfriend in a truly dreamy fashion. On Sunday, he took to his social media account to share a glimpse of their special proposal day.

The 24-year-old rookie quarterback, Zappe, was one of the most prolific passers during his senior season at Western Kentucky. Standing at 6’1″ tall, Zappe began the 2022 NFL season as an inactive third-stringer for the first three weeks. However, in Week 4, he had a sudden start that marked his debut in the league. He also replaced Mac Jones of the Patriots when Jones threw a bad interception. And now, he is engaged to the person whom he met in his high school.
