""It's a blast to be out here again," Steve said. "My first day here, I was walking to go pick up my media credential, and one of my crew members said, 'Hey, look, that's Veronica.' I said, 'Veronica's in Miami, playing right now for Unrivaled.' She goes, 'No, up on the billboard.' and I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, that is Veronica.'""
""It's fun to see how the whole nation has come together to support the Valkyries down here," Steve said. "Patriots players coming up to me, 'Hey, I saw your daughter up on the billboard,' which is pretty neat. Because it's really about them. And for them to come up, and Brenden Schooler was one of them that just came up and said, 'Hey, man, seeing this is pretty cool.'""
Steve Burton works as a sportscaster and serves as father to four standout athletes, including Valkyries guard Veronica Burton. His father, Ron Burton, was the Boston Patriots' first-ever draft pick in 1960, creating a three-generation football connection. Steve covered the New England Patriots at Super Bowl 60 in the same region where Veronica led the expansion Valkyries to a surprising playoff run. Fans and players noticed Veronica's image on a billboard, prompting players like Brenden Schooler to comment. The family experienced serendipity and gratitude as past and present football milestones converged during the event.
