There were a few big names that made headlines coming out of Sunday's Super Bowl 55 spectacle. Tom Brady. Patrick Mahomes. Yuri Andrade.
In case you didn't already know Yuri Andrade is the streaker who unceremoniously caused a delay in the fourth period of Sunday's NFL Super Bowl 55 bout against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Along with Brady, Mahomes, and several other players who were trending throughout and in the aftermath of the Super Bowl, Andrade also saw his popularity skyrocket thanks to his attention-grabbing antics.
Jeremy Layton of the New York Post provided some information about the mystery man, whose infamy took center stage in what was otherwise a one-sided battle between the Buccaneers and the Chiefs. As expected, Andrade will be facing some legal issues courtesy of the NFL after Sunday's events:
Yuri Andrade, a 31-year-old Boca Raton native, has been charged with misdemeanor trespassing after running half-naked across Raymond James Stadium in Tampa during Super Bowl 2021.
Andrade was clearly trying to grab as much attention as he could, and apparently, it worked. Just take a look at his Instagram bio, which unsurprisingly, has seen a sharp increase in followers overnight.
To be fair, we have to give this man some credit for having the gall to actually streak through what is considered by many as the greatest sporting event in American sports. His ability to elude stadium security for the full length of the field is also somewhat impressive.
Unfortunately for him, Yuri Andrade won't be watching live games anytime soon. The NFL is likely going to impose some sort of ban on him, but if you ask Andrade, he's probably going to say that it was all worth it.
