Seahawks WR Jake Bobo can't stop his family from rooting for the Patriots

"The New England Patriots will face an excellent Seattle Seahawks squad on Sunday in their 12th Super Bowl. Seattle's offense features Sam Darnold under center, former MSU star Kenneth Walker in the backfield, and OPOY Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the team's star player. The offense also features one of the league's better supporting casts. Complementary pieces like Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, and A.J. Barner are key tenets of Seattle's offense. Even George Holani contributed as a receiver out of the backfield in Zach Charbonnet's absence."

"A member of that supporting cast that doesn't get much notoriety is Jake Bobo. During his collegiate career at Duke and UCLA, Bobo recorded over 2,200 yards with 7 touchdowns in his final season. He isn't the fastest, but his size (6-foot-4) has made him a red zone weapon in the NFL as well. Between the regular season and playoffs, Bobo has just four catches in 2025, but he made his opportunities count during the NFC Championship, catching a 17-yard touchdown."

"While Bobo will be playing against New England on Sunday for a chance at his first Super Bowl ring, his loyalties didn't always lie with the Seahawks. A North Andover native, Bobo grew up a Patriots fan. While that fandom has dissolved since entering the NFL, the same can't be said for his friends and family. Seahawks WR Jake Bobo is a North Andover native."

Seattle's offense centers on Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker and Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, supported by weapons including Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, A.J. Barner and situational contributors like George Holani. Jake Bobo emerged as an under-the-radar receiver after collegiate stints at Duke and UCLA, recording over 2,200 yards with seven touchdowns in his final college season. Bobo's 6-foot-4 frame provides red-zone value, but he totaled just four catches across the 2025 regular season and playoffs, though he hauled in a 17-yard touchdown in the NFC Championship. Bobo grew up in North Andover rooting for the Patriots, and his family still follows New England.
