Former Colts Cornerback Antonio Cromartie is expecting his 14th child, according to TMZ.
Cromartie’s wife, Terricka announced the pregnancy on Instagram Mother’s Day stating she was 25 weeks along. This will be Terricka’s sixth child.
His wife’s pregnancy is believed to be Cromartie’s fourth child after his vasectomy. The couple had twins in 2016 following the procedure.
Cromartie is most recently known to be the only Colts player to have taken a knee during the national anthem at an NFL game last season. His decision to kneel was in response to police shootings across the United States and racial inequality.
When asked what he'd say to fans who would tell him to just "be a football player," he said, "I'm a black man first.”

When explaining his reason for kneeling, Cromartie said he has six young, black sons.
"Why wouldn't I speak up for them, and speak up for the other young black men who are growing up?" Cromartie said. "Why wouldn't I take a stand for any of that? That's what it's all about. We're trying to make change."
Cromartie signed with the Colts as a free agent in August 2016 but was released from the team in October.
