McVay later spoke at a press conference about the inspiration behind his son’s name, revealing that he was named after the coach’s grandfather. “It is, yeah. His original due date was…kinda eerie how things work out. His original due date was when my grandfather passed a year ago on the 31st.”
“Which is just pretty special and if you don’t believe in a higher power there’s certain things that occur that man, you just realize there’s something special going on,” said the new dad.
McVay’s grandfather is San Francisco 49ers executive John McVay.
“I come from a family of faith, I’m a man of faith and so thought that was really…you know the influence that you guys know my grandfather had on me, but also our family, he had a special relationship with Veronika as well.”
“And so I thought that was only appropriate to be able to name him and have his middle name after my grandfather and his legacy lives on. I know he’s looking down smiling with what occurred yesterday,” McVay concluded.
McVay and his wife got engaged in 2019 andtied the knot in June 2022, four months after McVay led the Rams to aSuper Bowlvictory.
