Best Halloween costumes worn by NFL players: Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, more
Halloween might be over, but we’re still thinking about the creative, hilarious costumes NFL players sported ahead of the holiday.
One of the league’s fan-favorite traditions of players wearing a costume ahead of game day returned, but since Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, many players ditched the pregame costume festivities on Sunday.
That didn’t stop some players from dressing up in creative and fun costumes to celebrate.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs dressed up as Michael Jackson. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and his wife Jenna dressed as Sully and Mike Wazowski from "Monsters, Inc." And that’s just to name a few.
Here are 12 funny, clever, or sweet Halloween costumes NFL players (and their families) wore that you need to see.
