Football doesn’t define the Kansas City Chiefs player’s life. ‘I want to be a saint,’ he recently said on EWTN.
Even though Harrison Butker kicked the winning field goal in what he described as “one of the best Super Bowls ever played,” football doesn’t define the Kansas City Chiefs player’s life.

“I‘m not just making kicks so that I can make money and I can puff myself up as this great person that people want to be like one day. I’m making kicks because God wants me to have a platform, at least for right now, to share this message of faith, of growing in virtue, of growing closer to the sacraments and of being a saint.”
Butker, 27, is outspoken about his Catholic faith, his pro-life convictions, and his devotion to the traditional Latin Mass, where he frequently served at the altar before becoming a father.
