Green Bay Packers defensive end Jarius Wynn took home one trophy before the Super Bowl even started: His wife gave birth Sunday morning to a son at a Texas hospital, the Washington Post reported.

The newspaper reported the couple are considering giving the baby the middle name "Super."

Mom, dad and son are reportedly doing well.

Wynn, 24, was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2009 draft. The University of Georgia product was cut from the team's 53-man roster during the 2010 preseason but was re-signed 10 days later after a knee injury to fellow end Justin Harrell.
