Allison Kuch is happy to support her husband, Isaac Rochwll, as he says goodbye to professional football.
On Saturday, July 26, Kuch posted a series of photos via Instagram in honor of Rochell’s retirement from the NFL. The former defensive end signed a one-day contract with the Los Angeles Chargers the same day, a move that allowed him to end his career in the same city where it began.
“FULL CIRCLE MOMENT 💙⚡️,” Kuch captioned the post. “Ending where it all began. So incredibly thankful for the Chargers organization, the team that became family! Isaac, me and Scottie are beyond proud of you!!!Watching your journey has been the greatest honor. We love you more than words!! Always & forever… GO CHARGERS ⚡️🏈💙.”
The first photo in the set shows a beaming Kuch and Rochell outside the SoFi Stadium. Kuch can be seen holding the pair’s daughter, Scottie Bee, as the family of three stands in front of a digital billboard featuring a picture of Rochell alongside the words “Charger for life.”
The carousel of photos also shows the couple smiling inside the stadium, as well as Scottie, 1, walking while pushing a baby doll’s stroller.
“This organization absolutely changed my life,” Rochell told Chargers.com on the same day. “Obviously, I’m retired and I’m not playing anymore, but when I look back at my career and I look back at the good years and the bad years, the good years were here.”
He continued, “They were also the team that gave me a chance. I was a seventh-round draft pick so it’s not like people were knocking at the door left and right. When [former Chargers General Manager] Tom Telesco called me, that was a life changing moment for me and for my family. So, it’s like, ‘Why not? Why not the Chargers?’ It’s such a no brainer for me.”
Rochell was selected in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft. In addition to the Chargers, he also played for the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Browns and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Though Scottie never attended any of his games (Rochell stopped playing before the pair’s daughter was born), the football star said Kuch “was obviously a huge part of this.”
“For her, this is really cool. She obviously was in every city that I played in and was a trooper, and I think, like, this is a true moment where it feels like we’re retiring together here,” he added.
