How The Super Bowl Breakfast Celebrates ‘Faith, Family and Football’
By Movieguide® Staff
New Orleans Saints lineman Demario Davis is a regular attendee of the annual Super Bowl Breakfast, sponsored by Athletes in Action.
The event began in 1988 and seeks to spread the gospel’s good news and celebrate outreach projects and stories of hope within the NFL community.
“Ever since we came in the league, we learned about the Super Bowl Breakfast, saw that it wasn’t just about the game, but it reflected a life of faith, a life of family and of football,” the 10-year vet told CBN News.
After winning the Bart Starr award last year, Davis will return to the one-hour event, scheduled to take place over Super Bowl weekend.
“It’s a huge honor and a privilege just to be celebrated by my peers, coaches and so many that are critical and such a heavy part of the game, so to receive those accolades means a lot,” Davis said. “But I think for me, it’s all just reflective of the kingdom. Everything I do is about being a light for the kingdom. I just want to hear, ‘Well done my good and faithful servant.'”
Movieguide® previously reported:
On the Saturday of Super Bowl weekend, the NFL honored New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis with the Bart Starr Award, awarded to a player who exhibits high character and service to their community.
Davis jumped on the opportunity to thank God in his acceptance speech at the Super Bowl Breakfast on Saturday. However, Davis noted that while the ‘thank you God’ part of the speech is often a cliche, it is the most crucial part and the focus of his life.
“I always hear when somebody wins an award they say ‘thank you’ to God, but I always wish they spent more time on that part,” Davis said. “I want to do that because I’m so grateful to Him.”
Davis then quoted Ephesians 2:4-5, which reads: “But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved.”
“For me, when I look back on my life, I was dead in my transgressions — a kid who was expelled from high school, a kid who went to jail his freshman year in college,” Davis recalled. “I was headed down the wrong path fast.”
