Today, we know why!

He was asked by The Players’ Tribune to document his experience. However, it almost didn’t happen.

According to the article:

Taking pictures at the Super Bowl almost didn’t work out. And it was going to be my bad. Last Thursday, I was rushing to get to the team plane. Two miles away from my house, I had that feeling. I forgot something. I knew it.

He almost forgot his camera! But, he found it just in time and got some pretty good shots. Make sure to check them out.
