To be honest, it’s a little frustrating when you find out that someone that is really good at one thing is also incredibly talented at doing something else too.
That’s exactly how I feel after watching this video of Philadelphia Eagles star tackle Jordan Mailata singing the Stevie Wonder classic “Isn’t She Lovely” at his own wedding recently.
First off, congrats to him and his wife for tying the knot. What an exciting day for the lovely couple. Second, come on Jordan, really? You are an all-pro defensive player and you have pipes like that? That’s really not fair at all.
It’s no secret that Mailata has some serious singing talent. A player that was a rookie along with Jordan from the Washington Commanders sent out a post after he saw the video saying:
“I remember our rookie talent show, my dude started singing and nobody else wanted to go after him cause we knew the boo’s were coming.”

And of course, everyone knows that Mailata lent his voice to an impressive Philadelphia Eagles players Christmas album last year along with Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson:
Performing on the field, something Mailata has done his entire life, is clearly no problem, and he also looked pretty comfortable recording in the studio, but breaking out the singing voice live in front of a large crowd (on a pretty big, important, busy day) is a little different.
The Eagles player might have been a little nervous, though you couldn’t really tell based on his unbelievable and stirring rendition of “Isn’t She Lovely.”
Damn, that’s recording artist level stuff. I still can’t get over how good he sounds. Seems like Twitter agrees with me:
I’m not an Eagles fan, and I wholly endorse Jordan Mailata as the most likable guy in the NFL.
