Dalton Kincaid Becomes Godfather To Late Friend’s Baby
A Promise Made At Seventeen Becomes A Lifetime Vow
The Buffalo Bills training facility fell into a heavy silence as Dalton Kincaid stepped to the podium. His expression was calm, but his eyes held the weight of a promise made long before the NFL ever knew his name.
Kincaid confirmed he will become the godfather of Marshawn Kneeland’s unborn child.
Their story began years earlier at a summer football camp for rising talent. Both were 17. Two young men from different parts of the country, united by the same dream and the same fear of failure. Under the lights of that summer night, they made a promise neither imagined would come true.
"If anything ever happens to one of us, we take care of each other’s families."
Today, that promise became real.
Marshawn Kneeland – The Friend Taken Too Soon
Kneeland’s tragic passing left a deep wound. His girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, later confirmed she is pregnant with their first child.
When Dalton Kincaid announced he would be the godfather, Bills Mafia and the entire NFL responded with emotion:
“This is what family means.”
“Buffalo never leaves anyone behind.”
Dalton Kincaid – The Quiet Leader With A Fierce Heart
Kincaid shared through tears:
"We made that promise at 17. I cannot replace his father, but I will make sure his child knows the strong and kind man he was."
Bills owner Terry Pegula added:
"Buffalo showed today why we are more than a team. We are a family."
Fan Reactions Across The League
“Dalton has the purest heart in football.”
“This is Buffalo. This is love.”
“A story the NFL will remember forever.”
From Tragedy To Legacy
Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed the rest of the season will be dedicated to Kneeland.
"We play to win, but today we also play for Marshawn," McDermott said.
A child will soon enter the world carrying a story born from a summer camp at age seventeen.
A promise honored.
A legacy preserved.
And as always, Buffalo stands together.
