​There are apparently hundreds of minute details required to convincingly impersonate an NFL player.Daejon Love allegedly mastered enough of them to fool more than two dozen women. Carrying the helmet everywhere is apparently not one of them. People are sounding off in the comments of all the videos that have been circulating of Love trying to allegedly scam his victims by bringing his helmet everywhere with him. Love carried it in his passenger’s seat when he was driving. He brought it to restaurants, night clubs, car dealerships, even the barbershop. If Love needed to prove to anyone that he was an NFL player, he would just whip out his replica helmet. Of course, most NFL players leave their helmets at the team practice facility and on the sidelines. But maybe the average person doesn’t know that. For Hall of Fame wide receiver Larry Fitgerald, he couldn’t get past the unattached visor. “The visor that wasn’t attached to the helmet was the one that made me bust up laughing,” Fitzgerald told The California Post in an exclusive interview last week. “It was halfway on and halfway out.”Larry Fitzgerald looks on at the 17th hole during the first round of the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Tahoe, NV, on Friday, July 10, 2026.

The FBI believes there could be many more victims.For Leinart and Fitzgerald, former Arizona Cardinals teammates who actually lived inside the NFL world Love allegedly tried to counterfeit, the football portion of the performance was almost comically unconvincing.“I saw the videos that were circulating,” Leinart told The California Post. “I think he was on the beach running routes in a helmet.Fake 49ers player Daejon Love posted practice drills at the beach and always made sure to carry a 49ers helmet with him everywhere.He scammed women out of $1.8 million by pretending to play for the 49ers. pic.twitter.com/HRkxesbQNe— FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 28, 2026“From an outsider, I’m like, ‘This is the fakest thing I’ve ever seen.’”Leinart laughed at the absurdity but offered perhaps the most damning scouting report imaginable.“That’s not what an NFL dude looks like.”He’s right. Thanks to Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley and former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs providing us with a side-by-side comparison, we know what an NFL player working out on the beach looks like. Matt Leinart, looks on prior to the 2025 Big Ten Football Championship between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Ohio State Buckeyes at Lucas Oil Stadium.
