Per a report by Heavy, Butker, the Kansas star, had publicly spoken of his parents' support and their contribution to his career.
Butker told the Kansas City Star that he was never forced by his mom and dad into playing football.
He said his parents did not push him to do anything he did not prefer to do.
According to Butker, he loved sports growing up, which drove him to make a career in American football.
Butker also revealed how his dad followed his game and gave him notes on his performance.
"He's always making comments about stuff, but it's good," noted the Kansas star.
Support from his parents had always helped him remain grounded despite being a known athlete.
