The lineup of candidates running in this November's midterm elections includes several figures across the nation with ties to the National Football League.
On the 2026 midterm season roster are a famous sideline reporter, two former players and the spouse of a player who once made a legendary Super Bowl catch.
Former "NBC Sunday Night Football" sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, a household name on game day from 2011 to 2022, headlines the field.
Former NFL placekicker Jay Feely, who aligned himself with President Donald Trump, is also leaping into the political arena, as is former Tennessee Titans linebacker and former Rep. Colin Allred, who is trying to regain a seat in Congress. Tiffany Glenn Burress, a lawyer married to Super Bowl champ Plaxico Burress, is getting in the game too.
