She said in the photo’s caption, “Aliyah had only one place she wanted daddy to sign. Guess where?” “We’re home!!” exclaimed Bush in a second text bubble.

On X, she repeated an identical all-caps message, writing: “FINS UP WE ARE HOME!! 🐬🩵.”

The defensive back, speaking with NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe, also repeated his wife’s remarks. “I’m returning home!” He restated. “During the off-season, I live about 25 minutes away from there.” It feels like I’m returning home because I’ve wanted to visit Florida for a very long time. It seems appropriate, and I have a great deal of respect for coach [Mike] McDaniel and his group. I believe I’ll fit in perfectly.

Poyer’s family seems to have had a role in encouraging him to make a homecoming.

At the NFL Combine, Jordan Poyer revealed that he was a “huge fan of Tua” and that he wanted to “play somewhere warm” with tax benefits.
Poyer has been making some very clear indications that he would be open to joining the Dolphins, whether it is because his daughter Aliyah has asked to play for the team or because his family stays there in the off-season.

In an NFL combine interview that was posted on X by a user going by the handle “Tili,” Poyer was questioned if he would want to “play somewhere warm” with better tax advantages. He said, “I mean, who wouldn’t?” in response. Together with a chuckle and a smile.
