Speaking with PEOPLE in June 2023, Armstead opened up about hislife as a father of two.

“I play football, so it’s a lot of testosterone and a lot of masculine ego and energy, and all that around, so when I come home and get to be a dad, I get to be softer and I enjoy that side,” he shared.

“There’s a lot of dads on the team. I get to see a different side of my teammates too, and being dads. It’s a lot of fun.”
