Byron Leftwich

Byron Leftwich is a former NFL quarterback who is now the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL). Recently, he has been the talk of the NFL after a reporter embarrassingly misidentifies Leftwich as Todd Bowles after Super Bowl LV: it’s not the first time this has happened in the NFL.

Because Byron Leftwich is the center of attention, the public is more interested in learning about his personal life.

About Byron Leftwich’s married life:

Yes, you read that correctly. Byron Leftwich has a wife. However, the Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator has kept his personal life as private as possible from the media. According to reports from 2019, he planned to marry his long-term partner, the name of whom has yet to be revealed. Nonetheless, it’s been two years and it’s unclear whether they exchanged wedding vows or not, though some online sources claim he has already tied the knot. However, there are no wedding photographs. And there’s more. Byron Leftwich is not to be found on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. I must say that his love is a lovely mystery.
