A St. Louis Comeback
After a hiatus from professional football due to a severe ACL injury, AJ McCarron, the former NFL quarterback, made a triumphant return to the gridiron in 2023 with the XFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks. Fans of the XFL were delighted to see McCarron’s return, especially after the inspiring season he had with the Battlehawks. The hopes are high, and expectations are that he will continue his success in 2024.
McCarron’s love for the game is not just about personal glory. His motivation to return to the field was deeply personal. He wanted his sons to watch him play and create memories. “My six-year-old loves watching tape of me on YouTube. That’s a big reason I chose to return this way,” McCarron told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. His decision to take less money to sign with the XFL, earning praise from none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, speaks volumes about his dedication and love for the game.
A Burgeoning Real Estate Mogul
While AJ’s return to football has been a triumph, Katherine Webb-McCarron, AJ’s wife and the one and only Miss Alabama 2012, has been hard at work on her career path as a real estate developer. She proudly announced the launch of her real estate firm, Bur:McCarron, on Instagram, which is responsible for the new Topgolf facility in Mobile, Alabama. Her success in this endeavor is evident in the excitement surrounding the projects she’s undertaking.
Her hard work in developing Bur:McCarron and getting her commercial/residential license has paid off, showcasing her business acumen. “Over the last year we have been working hard developing our development and real estate firm… and I’m happy to announce we have done both!” she wrote on Instagram.
Webb’s career as a real estate developer is a departure from her earlier fame when sportscaster Brent Musburger praised her beauty during the 2013 BCS National Championship Game. She has moved from spotlight to powerhouse businesswoman, opening her real estate firm nearly a year after AJ took a pay cut to play for the XFL.
A Power Couple
The synergy between AJ and Katherine goes beyond their respective careers. McCarron is also an investor in his wife’s real estate development company. The alignment of their business and sports careers is a testament to a partnership that supports each other’s dreams and ambitions.
From AJ’s significant pay cut to join the XFL, making somewhere between $60,000 to $200,000 a season, to Katherine’s venture into real estate, the couple’s sacrifices and decisions symbolize a shared vision for success.
As the 2024 season approaches, fans of the Battlehawks are enthusiastic about AJ’s return and hopeful for another electrifying season. Simultaneously, the world will watch as Katherine Webb continues to make waves in the real estate world. Their joint success story serves as an inspiring example of perseverance, determination, and shared ambition in the worlds of sports and business.
