Efton Chism Engaged After Viral One-Handed Touchdown

The Instagram announcement broadens his public profile by turning a high-profile game moment into a personal milestone.

Overview

  • The couple shared engagement photos on Instagram, with Devynn Warns posting a joyful caption that said she “can’t wait to be your wife,” and the images were first published publicly on Oct. 24, 2026.
  • Local reporting identified the proposal location as a Seaport pier with the Boston skyline in the background, a detail attributed to Boston.com and described in coverage as limited-sourced.
  • Teammates and public figures left congratulatory comments on the post, including Drake Maye’s “Elite form” and Ann Michael Maye’s “YAY!!! Congratulations, you two.”
  • Chism’s public profile rose after a one-handed, 23-yard, game-winning touchdown against the Buffalo Bills with 1:50 remaining, and Warns’ exuberant in-stadium reaction to that play went viral.
  • Both have Eastern Washington University ties—Chism went undrafted out of EWU before joining the Patriots and Warns played guard for EWU—which frames the engagement as a long-term partnership now receiving broader media attention.
