Meet Kate of the Denver Broncos, who jumped rope competitively throughout elementary school and even won a gold medal for Double Dutch at the Junior Olympics when she was 10. All her friends think of her as a nerd.

Kate's celebrity crush is Rory McIlroy, "I admire his well-balanced life as well as the balance in his golf game. The Rory Foundation is a fantastic organization that he started in order to provide the kind of support that he received as a child, which helped him achieve his dream. I love his commitment to both his sport and his community. And I could really use a little help with my golf swing…"

Her worst habit? "Biting my nails… I’m a worrier!"

The most embarrassing moment was, "At one of the first home games of my rookie season, a family friend made his way all the way down to the first row and started shouting my name and waiving his arms to catch my attention. The rest of the crowd was silent at the time! He wanted a picture so I quickly went over to the stadium wall to take one with him, and I’m sure my face was bright red in the photo…"

Her one guilty pleasure? "Binge watching Netflix… right now I’m hooked on Scandal!"
