From the red carpet at the NFL honors to Radio Row at Super Bowl LVIII, we asked current and retired NFL players to give their best Valentine’s Day advice.
The NFL season may be over, but the season for love is just getting started.
If you don't already know, Feb. 14 is Valentine's Day. In Las Vegas ahead of the Super Bowl, some current and former NFL players shared their advice on what to do for your significant other on the big day.
"It's always about the thought, so get a bunch of flowers," said Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. "And, you know, maybe even try to hand pick them."
"Set up a picnic, get her favorite foods, cook with her," Parsons continued.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had some advice for how to utilize the special holiday as well.
"Spending time with your loved one and making sure that you appreciated that," Mayfield said.
However, Valentine's Day is not for everyone, including retired NFL offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth.
"When we got married I established that we were not going to celebrate Valentine's Day," Whitworth said. "Because I was going to make her feel like every day was Valentine's. I don't want to get you a rose because it's Valentine's Day, I want to get you a rose because it's a Tuesday in July and you deserve it."
Here is some more advice NFL players gave for Valentine's Day:
- "Get on Resy. Get on OpenTable. Book your reservation." - Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Eric Kendricks
- "You can't go wrong with flowers for a start." - Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson
