There's no denying that Jordan Poyer's star has brightened considerably since leaving Oregon State in 2013 for pro football.
Into his sixth year in the NFL, Poyer is the starting free safety for Buffalo, a team on the rise after making the 2017 playoffs. Poyer has become somewhat of a social media sensation, as he's married to popular Instagram model Rachel Bush. They have a You Tube series called "The Poyer Family," which co-features their 19-month-old daughter Aliyah.
Life is good for the Poyers, who live during the offseason in Miami.
But at his core, Poyer is still the small-town kid from Astoria who proudly describes the North Oregon coastal town to anyone who asks from Buffalo.
