The NFL’s Dads Reflect on Fatherhood During a Global Pandemic

Jarvis Landry was like every parent at the beginning of the pandemic last year, looking at his four-year-old daughter and two-year-old son and wondering how quickly he could fill up his Amazon cart with enough indoor activities to last them an indefinite amount of time during a global lockdown.

The boxes piled up on the front door so quickly that he couldn’t remember what he ordered. Landry said he was never a stranger to diaper duty and some of the other essentials of early fatherhood, but this is where he excelled the most. This was his time.

“Oh my God, I bought so much stuff, toy trains, soccer goals, Nerf guns, man,” Landry said.
