<p>Former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> MVP <strong>Shaun Alexander</strong> announced that he and his wife Valerie are expecting their 14th child, quickly drawing congratulations from fans who admire his legacy in the league. At the same time, memes comparing him to another legend with a big family, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philip-rivers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philip Rivers</a></strong>, began circulating.</p>



<p>League stars are not always in the spotlight solely for sports reasons, <strong>as many fans and admirers on social media also follow their personal lives</strong>. In this case, Kay Adams reported on her X account that Alexander is expecting another child.</p>



<p>The comparison with former quarterback Rivers is something that always comes up in this type of news. <strong>The player who became a legend with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a> has 10 children: seven daughters and three sons</strong>. While Alexander has now surpassed him in numbers, the comparisons kept coming.</p>



<h2>Memes in reaction to Alexander’s new announcement</h2>



<p>Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on Alexander’s large family. He won the league’s MVP award in 2005 after delivering a historic season with 1,880 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns, which at the time set an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> record. <strong>And in the process, they didn’t just remember him but also Rivers.</strong></p>
