Duck Hodges Helped Coach Lainey Wilson Up For Her First Pitch Throw At Colorado Rockies Game: “Thanks Coach Duck”

Guess it doesn’t hurt to have your former-footballer-fiancé hand out a few tips on the throwing motion.

To put things simply, Lainey Wilson is one of the busiest country music artists in the world. Her most recent album, Whirlwind, is fittingly named. That’s what her life in the music industry has been like as of late, and Wilson’s personal life also got busy earlier this year when she and her long-time boyfriend, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, finally got engaged:

Lainey Wilson even using her song “4x4xU” as a clever caption for their engagement announcement.

The couple dated for around four years before getting engaged. They kept their relationship a secret for quite a while before finally walking the red carpet together at the ACM Awards back in 2023. And it was an interesting dynamic… Lainey Wilson was a rising country music star, and Duck Hodges’ was a football player who’s career was slowly coming to a close.

Duck was a four-year starter at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama before being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019. He was named the starter during the 2019 season when Mason Rudolph went down with an injury, going 3-3 as a starting quarterback before being waived by the Steelers and signed to the practice squad prior to the 2020 season.

In 2022, after bouncing around the NFL a bit more and even playing a handful of games in the CFL (Canadian Football League), Hodges officially retired from the sport. Thus, his athletic career was officially over. And considering his fiancée Lainey Wilson was recently asked to throw out the first pitch at a Colorado Rockies game, I guess you could say her athletic career is just getting started.
