Orville Peck's NFL Secret: Made Out With Raider Player!
18 Sep
Summary
- Orville Peck's new song reveals he kissed an NFL player.
- He received permission from the player before releasing the song.
- Fans speculate Carl Nassib is the player mentioned.
Orville Peck has unveiled a surprising detail from his personal life on his latest album, 'Mule,' released on September 18, 2026. The masked singer confessed in a new track that he once "made out" with a player from the National Football League.
Peck, 38, shared that he secured explicit permission from the NFL player before incorporating the revelation into his song. He emphasized that he would never have shared such a detail if the individual was in hiding or fearful of it becoming public knowledge.
The lyric has fueled fan speculation, with many believing Peck is referring to former NFL player Carl Nassib. Nassib made history in 2021 by becoming the first active NFL player to publicly come out as gay. He played for the Raiders from 2020 to 2021.
Nassib, who also played for the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, announced his retirement in September 2023. In his coming-out video, he expressed his desire for greater representation and visibility, hoping such announcements would one day be unnecessary.
