Andy and Jordan Dalton were approaching their third wedding anniversary in 2014 when they decided to make another leap in their lives together. Both Christians, the Daltons wanted to make a stronger commitment to God by getting baptized as a married couple.
The Bengals’ quarterback and his wife approached LaMorris Crawford, the team chaplain, after couples’ Bible study and told him they wanted him to baptize them. Crawford said it’d be his honor and arranged to do the ceremony at his pastor’s backyard pool on June 15, 2014.
“To see someone make a decision with the platform that they have to wear what they believe, that moment for me was monumental,” Crawford says.
