A record-setting NFL quarterback, and now a seasoned radio and TV
broadcaster—that’s how most people know Boomer Esiason. But before his
fame on and off the gridiron came a tough road for Boomer and his family.

When he was just 7, Boomer’s mother, Irene, who was 37, died of cancer.
That left Boomer, his father and his two teenage sisters to create a life for
themselves. A three-hour daily commute to work in New York City left
Boomer’s father, Norman, with little free time, but he always made sure he
supported Boomer, both on and off the field. The family was also forced to
rely on friends and relatives, as Boomer’s mother died without life insurance
and there was little money left each month to pay for any extra help. “I was
handed a life lesson early, growing up with one parent,” says Boomer, “It
wasn’t the easiest life—my dad sacrificed a lot.”

Through determination, hard work and the support
of his father, Boomer was able to leverage his talent
at football to gain a full scholarship to the University
of Maryland. He then went on to become one of
the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history
during his 14-year career, leaving the game in 1997
in the top 10 of many quarterback career statistical
categories.

From the beginning, Boomer has protected his
family—wife, Cheryl, and their children, Sydney
and Gunnar—with life insurance. And as his career
as a radio and TV broadcaster has grown, his life
insurance coverage has grown as well. It has become
especially important to Boomer, given that Gunnar
is fighting cystic fibrosis and will need financial
support throughout his life. “Life happens at the
most unexpected of times, and life insurance is about
protecting the future and the people you love,” he
says. “Remember, if something happens and you
haven’t done the planning, the people you leave
behind will feel the brunt of your mistakes.”

Numbers make a difference, especially when it
comes to protecting your family with life insurance.
