AMARILLO, TEXAS -- If you haven’t heard the name Mason Crosby before now, you’ll probably be hearing a lot more of it on Super Bowl Sunday.  He’s the kicker for the Green Bay Packers and his family just moved to Amarillo.

They already have pictures on the walls, but now they’ve stopped the moving in process to get to the Super Bowl.  They leave on Thursday to see their oldest son play in the championship game.  He was drafted in 2007 for the Packers and his family said he doesn’t really get nervous.  “If you want to see nervous watch us on the stands, we have the nerves for him.  I don’t know that he’s been nervous about any of those pressure situations ever. I’m sure somewhere inside he is, but he never shows, he never speaks of it.  I would say that he is looking forward to it with a great deal of anticipation,” said his father Jim Crosby, his wife and youngest son, who attends Texas Tech.

Crosby’s family is expecting more than 50 friends and family, some from high school, to come and cheer him on in his first Super Bowl game at Cowboy Stadium in Dallas.
