Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been one of the team’s biggest stars throughout their incredible playoff run.
A lot of folks questioned the Bengals’ choice to draft him in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but the decision has paid major dividends.
So far in the postseason McPherson has connected on 12-of-12 on field goal attempts. At this point, he is just three away from the all-time NFL playoff record for made field goals. Not bad for a guy fresh in the league.
As part of McPherson’s unparalleled rise to fame, his better half Gracie Groat has also seen her profile rise significantly.
McPherson and Groat got engaged in July 2021 – and the pair seems to be going strong to this day.

Groat has served as a consistent stabilizing force for McPherson, and the pair’s relationship has led to some newfound popularity for her as well.
In fact, Groat’s Instagram posts routinely do extremely well these days:

Given that Groat doesn’t usually post the sort of racy pictures that Christian McCaffrey’s girlfriend Olivia Culpo frequently posts, nor has she ever gotten her beau’s name on her butt like Dak Prescott’s girlfriend impressively did — her Instagram growth in recent weeks is even more extraordinary.
Win or lose on Sunday, McPherson figures to be a star in the NFL for many years to come.
That’s certainly one way to make a Super Bowl pick. https://t.co/u5dFj628Z8

And as McPherson’s stock continues to rise, Groat’s inevitably will as well.
