Derrick Dockery has new respect for women after birth of daughter

Buffalo Bills player Derrick Dockery, 27, and his wife Emma welcomed their first child, daughter Madison, on Monday, September 24.  The little girl weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long. The new dad couldn’t hide his awe at being a father when he spoke in a recent interview,

It’s a beautiful thing. It’s joyful. It’s one of those things thatseemed surreal at first. ‘Is this really me? Is this what I createdwith God’s help?’ From A to Z, from beginning to end, I was there. Ihave a great, new respect for women and what they go through. But Godknew they were strong, that they could handle it.

Aww, yay for Derrick!! I attended UT-Austin while he was a player there and I remember him being so nice to fans and a nice guy overall.

congrats on the little one.

“Is this what I created with God’s help?’ ” Uh, BTW, your wife also helped!!! (i’m kidding..i know/hope he didn’t mean that he created their child by himself. Emma was there, too!)

Congratulations Derrick! I grew up with Derrick and know he is such a great human being. Miss Madison is one lucky little girl to have such a caring dad as Derrick. Love you friend!
