“The fear of failing. That kept me going to accomplish a goal (of playing in the NFL) that I was so close to having. Another thing was the doubters. And third, and not of the least importance, was my support group — my backbone to fight through some things.” This is what former NFL wide receiver Lee Evans said once when he was asked about becoming one of the greatest wide receivers of all time.
Evans never looked back when he got that full-proof support from none other than his wife, like his teammates and coaches. From achieving nothing to getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, there is one person who kept his back even when Lee Evans was facing hard times. Curious about Lee Evans’ wife and want to know more? Let’s dive in.
Who is Miranda Farr? All you need to know about Lee Evans’s wife
From what a lot of sources say, Miranda Farr is the daughter of Augunetta Farr and Michael Bennie Farr. She’s got a strong family background. She and Lee got married in the summer, just four years into his NFL career. He was still getting used to life in the league. The 2008 season was right around the corner. Things were probably pretty busy for him. But they made time for each other. That says a lot. They were building a life together while he was chasing big dreams on the field. It couldn’t have been easy, but they made it work.
Lee was picked up by the Buffalo Bills in the 2004 NFL Draft. He went 13th overall, which is a big deal. That kind of pick doesn’t happen by accident. He’d been showing serious skill way before that. In high school, he was already standing out. Coaches knew he was something different. Then in college, he just kept getting better. He played tough, played smart, and didn’t back down. Scouts were watching, and they liked what they saw. The Bills took a chance on him early. And honestly, he lived up to the hype. You could tell right away he was ready for the league.
How long their married life been married? An insight into parenthood and more
Lee Evans got hitched to Mirada Farr on May 14, 2008. So, it’s been 17 years since Miranda and Lee have been together. And while enjoying their 17 years of married life, they both share two children- Lee Evans IV and Lyndon Evans.
Talking about his parenting skills, the former Bills legend is good at it. “I think the biggest thing, when you’re talking to kids, is letting them know that it’s OK to fail, and you’re going to fail. It’s going to happen. So if you can’t rebound from it, you probably won’t go very far in anything.” He said this when he was interviewing with ESPN in January 2022.
Looks like both kids are set to follow in their dad’s footsteps, continuing the legacy he started on the field. Lee only played seven seasons in the NFL, from 2004 to 2010, but his impact during that time, especially with the Josh Allen‘s Bills, left a lasting impression. He’ll always be remembered fondly by Buffalo fans for his dedication, leadership, and unforgettable moments on the field.
