The newest addition to the Alexander clan will join siblings Heaven, Trinity, Eden, Joseph, Justus, Temple, Honor, Jedidiah, Eternity, Hosanna, Hope and Judea. The family lost daughter Torah in 2017 just 70 days after she was born.<\/p>\n
The Alexander patriarch, 48, shared the news with host Kay Adams while discussing the Harvest Covenant, a faith-based educational initiative for homeschooled children, which includes a football team coached for the three-time Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n
The total of 14 puts him in pretty rare NFL air \u2014 well ahead of former QB Philip Rivers\u2019 total of 10 kids<\/a> and tied with Antonio Cromartie\u2019s 14<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know what? It\u2019s really wild,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n \u201cI want you to look at this: Philip Rivers, get to work,\u201d Adams responded. \u201cThat\u2019s what I want to say. Philip steals headlines with 10. You only have 10 children. Philip, get a grip. We should take his Hall of Fame away and give it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, I want my kids to see the Hall of Fame,\u201d Alexander said. \u201cAm I asking too much?\u201d<\/p>\n The running back certainly has a case as one of the 128 finalists to be enshrined in Canton.<\/p>\n Over nine NFL seasons from 2000-08, he racked up 9,453 yards and 100 touchdowns on the ground \u2014 including an absurd 1,880 rushing yards, 27 touchdowns in 2005 for which he earned MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, All-Pro and Bert Bell Award honors \u2014 posted five straight 1,100-yard seasons and ranks 18th-all time with 112 touchdowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shaun Alexander may have played his last NFL game in 2008, but he\u2019s sure kept busy since then.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,13163,514,1739,82,1276],"class_list":["post-169161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrity-children","tag-nfl","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports","tag-sports-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Shaun](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/seattle-seahawks-shaun-alexander-runs-57834567.jpg\")
