Dekoda Watson is a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft and has since played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, and the Denver Broncos. Dekoda owns a non profit organization called Koda's Kids that allows over 400 kids in the local community to participate in a football and cheerleading camp once a year. His additional off the field passions include playing video games, hunting deer and hogs, and being an active father.

Genisys Credit Union, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has done something most brands never do with athlete sponsorship: it kept renewing. What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
