Washington Redskins tight end and former Maryland Terrapin Vernon Davis is tying the knot after proposing to his girlfriend Kayla on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland.

According to the Redskins’ website, Davis and his girlfriend were vacationing in Ocean City while strolling the beach Monday evening.

The two were distracted by a group of skydivers jumping out of a nearby plane above. One-by-one, the divers landed near the couple and proceeded to take off their gear, revealing a message.

Lining up, they each had a shirt that read off a different word forming a question – “Will You Marry Me?” While a smile flashed across his girlfriend’s face, Davis got down on one knee and popped the question.

She said yes.

The team’s website said Davis is one of the hardest-working guys in the locker room, “so there's no surprise that he was able to think of such a special way to begin the next chapter of his life.”

Davis was a three-year player at the University of Maryland before he was drafted sixth overall by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2006 NFL Draft.

After playing nearly 10 years with the team, Davis was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2015 and later helped the squad win Super Bowl 50. Less than a year later, he signed with the Redskins as a free agent and has played in every game with the team since.

Davis is a two-time pro bowler and is listed second on the team’s depth chart behind tight end Jordan Reed.
