Eric Decker Dad Moments

13 Times Eric Decker Was So Cute With His Kids, Our Ovaries Almost Exploded

When I first got out of college, Eric Decker was officially signed to the New York Jets. Luckily for us gals living in suburban NJ, Eric and his gorgeous wife, Jessie, frequently cruised around town with their little ones in tow. That obviously meant ample opportunities to low-key creep on them while they were ordering cones at the local ice cream shop. And I'll be the first one to say my group of friends was not complaining in the least.

So while there's absolutely no denying that Eric is a total DILF, the thing that makes him the most attractive? How great of a father he is to his three kids: Vivianne, Eric, and Forrest. Although we were definitely bummed to hear that the wide receiver is hanging up his cleats for good, there's definitely a silver lining for his thirsty Instagram followers: more precious photos of him with his kids.

Scroll through to see some our favorite moments so far — and try to keep it together while peeping the shirtless pics.
