On March 15, Lions defensive lineman Brodric Martin and his fiancée, Teekay Howard, welcomed a baby daughter named Sykila Mae.
About two months before to the delivery, the couple had a romantic photo shoot shot by photographer RJ Creations, based in the Detroit region.
The couple announced the arrival of their daughter on Instagram, writing, “God blessed and entrusted us with one of his beautiful children.”
“To be able to call her our babygirl, our miracle, our ‘good luck charm,’ our Sykila Mae,” makes us incredibly happy and honored.
After Martin was selected, Lions general manager Brad Holmes stated of him, as reported by the Lions website, “He just has, like we say, he’s got a lot of meat on the bone.”
“He has a great deal of promise. He plays hard, is large, and athletic. He sprints after the ball.
There aren’t many 330- or 340-pound players that run to the ball like he does, so when you see that, you can understand why we’re so excited about his potential.
