He was born in Cold Spring, Minnesota, and since his earliest years, he knew, that football should be the inseparable part of his life. He played football at school and then took his passion for this game to the University of Minnesota. No need to tell, that he was a notable player there. Even during his freshman year, he impressed his teammates and coaches with his statistics – 3 touchdowns and 378 receiving yards.

After the University he decided to choose football as his career. In 2010 the young athlete was drafted by Denver Broncos. He signed a 4-year deal with the team, and during these years he was part of it and put lots of effort to help Broncos win. He continued to play even after the injury, and during the first years of his career achieved a lot – had a chance to work with the legendary quarterback Peyton Manning, was ranked as the second-best wide receiver (by the number of touchdowns) in 2012 and as AFC champion in 2013.

In 2014 he signed a deal with New York Jets and spent three years with them. Finally, he was signed by the Tennessee Titans.

Obviously, Eric Decker is a talented American football player, but he got lots of injuries during his 8 years in NFL. So, in August 2018 he announced his retirement. Eric opened up through Instagram, that he is going to channel all his energy into making his wife Jessie, and kids happy.

Jessie James and Eric Decker met through their friends and communicated via Skype and phone during the whole month, till finally, Eric dared to invite the country singer for a date in the Mediterranean restaurant.
