Denver Broncos defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers was a huge addition to the team when he was acquired via trade during the 2024 NFL draft. And he’s not the only one having fun on game days.
Prior to the Broncos’ 28-14 win over the Carolina Panthers, the Denver social media team followed the steps of Franklin-Myers’ son, Kyler, who was mic’d up.
“I’m Kyler Franklin-Myers, and I like playing football,” the video begins. Kyler and his mother go to various booths at the tailgates that occur outside of Empower Field at Mile High. The first booth the Franklin-Myers’ family visits is the face painting, where Kyler gets “Aztec Broncos” on his face.
After face-painting, Kyler and his family go to the field, where Kyler enthusiastically greets his dad with a high five. Kyler starts stretching before talking to other players and passing a ball to himself. In the middle of tossing to himself, Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain playfully “intercepts” a pass, before giving the ball back to Kyler, who was not pleased with PS2.
Kyler finishes his pregame routine by throwing and handing out mini-footballs signed by his father. As he gives a football to a young boy, Kyler is asked, “Who’s it signed by?” “That’s my dad,” Kyler responds. “Is your dad a player? What’s his name?” “His name is John Franklin-Myers,” Kyler proudly responds.
