Jarrett Stidham made his first start for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. Stidham threw for 437 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the game.
While his starting debut was impressive, fans took notice of his wife, Kennedy, who was in attendance at the game. Kennedy saw her husband throw for the most yards for a quarterback in his first start for the Raiders.
Kennedy [Brown] Stidham was born in Kingwood, Texas. She started her soccer career at Kingswood High School. She later took her talents to Baylor as a member of the women’s soccer team for four seasons. Kennedy didn’t see much time on the field as a freshman or sophomore for the Bears. She appeared in just four games, getting an assist.
She became a full-time contributor for Baylor in her junior and senior seasons, appearing in 44 games and scoring five goals. Tad, Kennedy's father, played college basketball before joining the Houston Rockets and working in the marketing department. Since 2006, he’s been the CEO of the Rockets.
Kennedy is the oldest of four daughters. Her younger sisters are Addison, Nicolette, and Chloe. Addison graduated from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and Nicolette is an enrolled student at Auburn, while Chloe just began her career at Baylor.
