As an NFL kicker, Harrison Butker will never be touted as the best player on his team, but the three-time Super Bowl champion is quickly becoming the MVFM (most valuable family man) in professional sports today.

Butker caused a stir online last week with his comments to young women during a college commencement at a small Catholic college in Kansas. But his remarks last year at the Georgia Institute of Technology — his alma mater — prove that he’s no rookie when it comes to expressing his pro-marriage worldview.

Butker told the graduates in the audience that their professional accolades would mean nothing if they were “alone and devoid of purpose.” He went on to encourage them to get married and start a family, while noting how that decision has impacted him personally:

My confidence as a husband and a father and yes, even as a football player, is rooted in my marriage with my wife as we leave our mark on future generations by the children we bring to the world. How much greater of a legacy can anyone leave than that?
