DeMarcus Lawrence is soaking up every second of his Super Bowl moment - and he's got the Kelce brothers tipping their caps in respect.
The longtime pass rusher made waves before the 2025 season even kicked off, when he left Dallas for Seattle and dropped a bold quote that turned heads:
“Dallas is my home, it's my family's home, but I know for sure I wasn't going to win a Super Bowl there.”

At the time, it sounded like a heat-of-the-moment comment from a veteran chasing a ring. But now? With the Seahawks preparing to face the Patriots in Super Bowl 60, that quote is aging like fine wine.
Travis and Jason Kelce revisited Lawrence’s words on their New Heights podcast, and the respect was clear.
“This is a great quote, man,” Travis said. Jason added, “Dude, he called this back then!
When he said it I thought, ‘This is a bit much.’ But goddamn, I’ve got to give him credit now.”
Jason didn’t stop there, pointing out that Lawrence’s words “will age even better” if Seattle finishes the job and knocks off New England.
And really, how can you not root for a guy like Lawrence in this moment? After 12 years in the league - grinding, battling injuries, anchoring defenses - he’s finally getting his shot at the Lombardi Trophy. And the Seahawks are making sure he feels every bit of that significance.
When the team landed in the Bay Area for Super Bowl week, Lawrence wasn’t just another passenger on the plane. He was the first one off. According to Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune, the Seahawks gave Lawrence the honor of stepping off the team’s charter flight first - ahead of every player, coach, and staff member.
It was a small gesture, but it meant everything. A nod to a veteran’s long road to the game’s biggest stage.
Lawrence walked down the stairs of the team’s Atlas Air 747 with sunglasses on and a big smile, soaking in the moment. And why not? After more than a decade in the trenches, he’s earned it.
Now, with the spotlight on him and the Seahawks just one win away from glory, DeMarcus Lawrence has a chance to turn that bold preseason quote into a career-defining prophecy.
