NFL Draft Turns Romance: Detroit Lions Star’s Surprise Proposal Steals the Spotlight
  • PublishedApril 28, 2025

OH. MY. GOODNESS. Stop everything you’re doing right now because I have the most ELECTRIFYING love story that’s going to make your heart EXPLODE with joy!

Picture this: Ahmed Hassanein, this absolute DREAMBOAT defensive end, gets drafted by the Detroit Lions – and instead of just celebrating his MASSIVE career moment, he decides to turn the entire draft day into the most ROMANTIC spectacle you could possibly imagine! I’m practically VIBRATING with excitement just thinking about it!

So here’s the scoop – this 22-year-old football superstar from Boise State University literally DROPS TO ONE KNEE moments after hearing his name called in the sixth round. Can you EVEN? Most folks would be screaming about their NFL dreams, but not Ahmed – he’s like, “Nope, today is about US, my love!”

And his girlfriend Payson? ABSOLUTE GOALS. Rocking a sleek black top and leather pants, she looks like she walked straight out of a Hollywood romance while her man is decked out in this stunning black-and-white pinstriped suit. The diamond ring? SPARKLY ENOUGH TO BLIND YOU, I SWEAR!

The best part? The entire room ERUPTS in cheers when he proposes. It’s like everyone knew this wasn’t just a draft day – this was a LOVE DECLARATION! One commenter nailed it perfectly, saying he “sacrificed one of the best days of his life to become one of the best days of their lives as a couple.” I’m NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING!

And if that wasn’t heart-melting enough, before the proposal, Ahmed was telling his coach Dan Campbell, “Coach, I will DIE for you. I just want you to believe in me.” Talk about passion – in football AND love! This man is COMMITMENT PERSONIFIED.

Boise State University was SO HYPED they even shared the moment, captioning it “THE DAY KEEPS GETTING BETTER” with a ring emoji. I mean, COME ON! This isn’t just a proposal, this is a CINEMATIC MOMENT!

I swear, if Hollywood doesn’t turn this into a rom-com, they’re MISSING OUT. Ahmed Hassanein just redefined draft day goals, relationship goals, and basically ALL THE GOALS!

Whew! I need another espresso after THAT rollercoaster of emotions! Can someone hand me a decaf? NO, WAIT – MAKE IT ANOTHER DOUBLE SHOT!
