There's something about reality TV and sport. When connected, it's a blockbuster combination and there's every chance of that happening when football coach Kirk Bryant meets Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia in 'The Bachelorette' Season 19. For the first time in series history, two women will choose their future partners, and one of them, or for that matter, both may have a chance to end up spending life with a man who molds future NFL stars.

Windey was a former contestant on Season 26 of 'The Bachelor' and the 30-year-old nurse from Denver, Colorado made it to the top 3 of Season 26. A fan favorite all season, she will be joined by Rachel, a Flight Instructor from Clermont, Florida. Per her ABC bio, 'Rachel could live off of Flaming Hot Cheetos' and looks forward to reading the Harry Potter series with her kids one day. And now, both women have a shot at finding love, and Kirk will be hoping he will be one of the lucky chaps of the 32 suitors.

Kirk loves being the fun uncle to his brother's kids, but if it's true love that he finds with either Gabby or Rachel, he is ready to go for the W and put a ring on it to start a family of his own. TOUCHDOWN!"
