Football season is here, and a team puts on a show each week, allowing players to make statements on and off the field.
But players’ arrival fits are the real stars of the NFL beyond the game. Showcasing fans what their favorite quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive back are sporting. Players take their walkouts as seriously as their game plans, from head-to-toe designer bags and sneakers to more subtle outfits with basic t-shirts and Jordans. It’s a way to showcase players’ fashion sense and style choices, a different side of the game that isn’t always noticed or appreciated.
Here’s a list of the most notable NFL walkout fits from this season so far.
