Andrew Ladd McConkey, the talented wide receiver from Georgia, is generating buzz as a potential second-round pick in the NFL Draft. Although initially considered a first-round prospect, the depth of this year’s draft has pushed him slightly down the list. Now, the Buffalo Bills, with the first pick in the second round (33rd overall), are rumored to be interested in McConkey. And right now, fans aren’t only focused on McConkey’s landing spot but more.

As the draft approaches, his personal life is also sparking curiosity.  For the first day of the draft, McConkey opted to watch the live show at home with his girlfriend and inner circle. However, things could get a bit more glamorous on Friday evening as sources suggest his longtime girlfriend might join him for the coveted red carpet walk. 

Sydney Horne and McConkey express love via Instagram

High school sweethearts McConkey and Sydney Horne have been together for over six years. So Horne’s constant support to the wide receiver comes as no surprise. In fact, it was quite evident during McConkey’s back-to-back national championship wins at Georgia. Even this offseason was a mix of love and football, and their Instagram posts prove it. Sydney Horne’s Instagram page boasts over 140 posts and features McConkey in most. She started the year by celebrating his four-year Georgia journey, saying “I’m so proud of you.” She also frequently shares Instagram Stories showing her love for him.
