The 24-year-old also met the women of his (and most men's) dreams - former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo.
And Brunette beauty Culpo, 28, has already had her interest piqued when it comes to the NFL.

In 2012, Culpo got her big break - winning her first beauty pageant as Miss Rhode Island.
She followed up that success by being crowned Miss USA that same year.
Then in December, 2012 gorgeous Culpo was named Miss Universe in Las Vegas.
In the space of a year she had gone from nothing to being a recognised faced in the US.

ATTRACTED TO THE NFL
Since 2013, Culpo's love life has been splashed across the entertainment blogs and magazines.
She dated pop star Nick Jonas for two years from 2013, but after that fizzled out she turned to sports stars.
In 2015, she got together with former New York Jets quarter back Tim Tebow, who is now playing Major League Baseball fo the New York Mets.
Then, she embarked on a fiery romance with Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola.
That ended in tears, with Amendola calling Culpo "f***** up" in an explosive rant on Instagram.
