The NFL player is currently in training camp for the upcoming 2024-2025 season, making his trip to Paris all the more meaningful.
In a press conference on July 22, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus explained how Jonathan was able to negotiate time off from the team’s required training camp to support Simone. “Just because we respect the Olympics,” Eberflus said, according to ESPN. “That is a big deal. And he’s just supporting the one he loves the most. And I think that’s so cool that he gets to do that.” Eberflus added, “We welcome that, and it’s going to be awesome. Go USA.”
