He’s got my vote! Well, if I lived in Arizona.
Ex-NFL kicker Jay Feely is “seriously considering” a run for U.S. Congress, to which he would bid for a seat representing Arizona.
If he chooses to campaign, the 48-year-old Feely will aim to be the representative for the 5th Congressional District in Arizona. The district is heavily Republican. Since 2017, Andy Biggs has been holding the position, but in 2026, he is running for governor of Arizona.
For over 10 years, Feely has been living in the East Valley in Arizona with his family. (RELATED: Kansas City Chiefs Owner ‘Honored’ President Trump Sent White House Invite To Commemorate Milestone Super Bowl)
Currently a CBS analyst, Feely played in the NFL for 14 campaigns, and during a point in his career, he was considered one of the top kickers in the league. Tallying an 82.6 career percentage for field goal attempts, Feely hit an insane 342 straight extra point tries from 2004-13.
Throughout his career, Feely suited up for the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, New York Giants and New York Jets.
Feely is friends with President Donald Trump and even played golf with him at both Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago. On social media, Feely issued an endorsement to Trump for the 2024 presidential election.
“I’ve never been ashamed of my support for @realDonaldTrump,” wrote Feely on Twitter back in Jul. 2024. “I’m proud to call him my friend. I supported him in 16 & 20 especially now 2024 after they tried to kill him. The left waged political warfare against this man. They believe the end justifies the means. Stand up and fight!”
