For a professional football player, there might be one thing as coveted as a Super Bowl ring, as essential to performance as time spent in the gym, and as pep-inducing as an inspiring coach—and that is sleep!  

Because of the direct impact rest has on physical and mental performance, it’s no surprise that so many NFL players have turned to SNOO to help their families snag more shuteye. With a record of adding 1-2+ hours of sleep per night, SNOO is basically the MVP of baby beds. So, when these NFL families “go long” we’re talking in hours of sleep, baby! Check out just a few of the NFL players that have turned to SNOO.

A skilled linebacker leads the defense, but right here, Anzalone allows SNOO to take the lead...in helping baby Cooper get some rest!

Football fans have nothing on SNOO fans! Robertson took to Instagram to praise our smart sleeper not once, but twice, writing, “I’m a huge fan of the Happiest Baby brand. We couldn’t be happier with our #SNOO & all the sleep gained because of it. Wish we had one in the past!” Later Robinson expressed his appreciation again, posting: “Thank you Happiest Baby for helping Rylee consistently sleep through the night and make her parents happy.”

The soon-to-be three-time Super Bowler certainly set his sweet baby girl Sterling Skye up for a win! Shortly before their pint-sized player made her debut, Mahomes' fiancée Brittany Matthews showed off their new nursery, complete with a SNOO.

2022 Super Bowler Ricardo Allen’s second daughter, Lennon, made her debut during the most grueling part of the football season—when sleep was key. Fortunately, with SNOO, little Lennon was able to snooze for 3 hours at a time right away, according to mom Grace.

“Not only is this bed amazing for nighttime sleep, it's amazing for when you just really need a shower, or to feed yourself, or to switch the laundry,” blogged Grace. “It’s literally like having an extra set of hands in your home at all times,” she wrote about this “game-changer.” The Allens were clearly smitten with SNOO, since it came out again in 2020 when Luna Rose Allen entered the family!

What does a QB have in common with a bb? An appreciation for the soothing powers of SNOO. “I need this in an adult size, please,” Will Grier’s wife, Jeanne, posted on Instagram. “Same,” the QB chimed in.

The two-time Pro Bowler got nostalgic about his youngest’s SNOO days in a #TBT: “Can’t believe it’s been a year since this video of Henry was taken. Seems like just yesterday. Jordan and I can’t say it enough how much we loved our SNOO. Baby Henry loved it too,” he wrote.

Who currently holds the title of “Happiest Baby on the Block”? It’s Miller’s son Breckin, the since-retired Bear declared on Instagram.

::Sportscaster voice:: It seems like there might be as much competition for the title of Happiest Baby on the Block as there is for the Vince Lombardi trophy because Jones tweeted that his daughter “is the Happiest Baby on the Block.” (We’ll let the refs make the call!)

In June 2020, the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver welcomed his mini, who he later photographed dreaming in SNOO.
