Just hours later, Pacheco made an announcement that would shock fans, teammates, and even his own family. The 7th-round draft pick turned rising NFL star revealed he was taking full responsibility for the child’s future—becoming their legal guardian and committing to raise the baby as his own.
“That child didn’t get a choice in how they came into this world,” Pacheco said during a quiet, emotional moment with local reporters. “But I have a choice—and I choose them.”
The 25-year-old, known for his explosive plays and relentless energy on the field, showed a different kind of strength—one rooted in empathy, sacrifice, and pure humanity.
He has pledged to provide the child with a safe home, unconditional love, and every opportunity a parent could hope to give: education, healthcare, emotional support, and a foundation for success.
The Chiefs organization released a statement praising Pacheco’s courage and compassion, calling it “an act that transcends football.”
Public response has been overwhelming. Messages from around the globe continue to flood in. Fellow athletes, celebrities, and even strangers have offered support, some calling Pacheco the embodiment of what a role model should be.
