Former NFL kicker Jay Feely announced he will be running for Congress in Arizona in 2026. Feely, 48, will be running for a U.S. House of Representatives seat in Arizona's 5th Congressional district in the 2026 midterm elections.

Former NFL kicker Jay Feely is leaving the broadcast booth after a decade and entering the political arena, telling ESPN's Josh Weinfuss on Tuesday that he will run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Arizona's 5th Congressional District.

He’s aiming to replace Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who is running for governor of Arizona in 2026, the same year as Feely’s House election. After his NFL career, Feely worked as a broadcaster for CBS Sports for 10 years before he departed the network on Tuesday.
