The draft is as important to loved ones and family as it is to the players. All of their sacrifices and efforts boil down to these very, very crucial three days. It’s a unique community that’s gathered in Green Bay at the moment. These are people who know what it takes to be in these guys lives, especially girlfriends. They can relate to one another and are also rooting for each other. Just like the lady loves of Ashton Jeanty and Cam Ward.
The No. 1 and the No. 5 picks in the draft were at Green Bay, and both were looking to go as top picks. Their skills and talent rightfully proved so. Ward was always the unanimous No. 1 prediction since the beginning. Jeanty, on the other hand, was a top RB prospect in the draft. Ward is now a Titan, while Jeanty is a Raider. At the event that set the course for their future, their girlfriends Gabrielle Miller and Nailah Landon seemed to form a great bond.
Miller, Jeanty’s girlfriend, shared a story that had some photos of her posing with Landon. Along with it, she wrote to Landon, “good luck to you n cam!! cant wait to see you guys soon .” They were both dressed to the nines, all ready to support their men on the most important day of their lives. Though either player went to teams situated on the opposite sides of the country, the girls look forward to keep their connect going.
Jeanty and Ward will be tasked with some important responsibilities in their respective teams. It’s a dream-come-true phase for either of them, who will finally get to play ball with the greats. Cam Ward, especially, will continue to inspire with his story, which started from him being a zero-star recruit.“I had bigger aspirations than being just a draft pick. I just think I just wanted it more.” And he will do that and a lot more at Tennessee. Jeanty, on the other hand, was high on his drive to do what the best in the game do. “If you pick me, it’s simple: I’m coming to your franchise to do what Saquon and the Eagles just did. I’m coming to win, big, soon,” he wrote in the Players’ Tribune ahead of the draft
This is a time that calls for some important decisions for all four of them. It’s a cost they have to pay; that’s just the nature of any athlete’s life in their sport. Both Miller and Landon have made some sacrifices along the way to help get Ward and Jeanty where they are now. And there’s no doubt that support will continue as they pursue the dream that became a shared one for both couples.
The girls are just as sporty as Ashton Jeanty and Cam Ward
Miller is an up-and-coming track and field star at Austin Peay State University in Alabama. She’s an AAU All-American and also made it to the AAU Junior Olympics in the recent past. However, her life has also faced some difficulties. She is making a comeback in college athletics after undergoing surgeries on both legs, two years after being off the field. And all this while, she’s been a pillar of support for Jeanty. “I love you so much, I’m so blessed to have you,” the former Boise State RB told his girlfriend. Miller has come to support Jeanty in his games,
Miller was asked in the Joey and Lauren Show about how she felt being with someone like Jeanty. She said, “It’s crazy, for sure, you know? Connected to someone this remotely famous wasn’t on my bucket list. It’s really special. And, just seeing how much he’s impacting the game, and impacting those around him.” It’s not easy being with someone who’s always going to be in the limelight, and yet, Miller and Jeanty seem to be going strong.
Landon, too, is a college athlete, finding common ground with Miller. Landon and Ward were together during their days at Incarnate Word, where the star QB played 2 seasons. She played volleyball for Barry University, while Ward transferred to Washington State. However, it seems that Landon joined Ward in Miami, where she has been working as a marketing coordinator for the Miami Marlins. At the draft, too, she seemed to be close with Ward’s parents, and also spotted wearing a Tennessee cap to support her man.
Like Miller said, being an NFLer’s girlfriend is not for the weak-hearted. It’s a way of life riddled with highs and lows, and you’ve got to be willing to stick with them through it all. As Ashton Jeanty and Cam Ward look forward to beginning their pro career, their girlfriends will be right by their side, just like they have all this time.
