The image was reposted by AsapPuka on X , showing Stafford holding the MVP trophy alongside his family during the NFL Honors ceremony.
Reacting to the photo, Nacua wrote, "This is Amazing."
The post quickly gained traction, with fans and players alike focusing on the significance of Stafford sharing the moment with his family rather than standing alone.
For Nacua, the reaction reflected more than admiration. It highlighted the bond inside the Rams locker room and the respect Stafford commands as both a leader and teammate.
Matthew Stafford's MVP season capped by family moment
Stafford's MVP win followed one of the most compelling seasons of his career. In his 17th year in the league, the 37-year-old edged Patriots quarterback Drake Maye in an exceptionally tight race.

The Rams veteran received 24 first-place votes to Maye's 23, becoming the oldest player ever to win his first MVP and one of the oldest winners in league history.
On the field, Stafford led the NFL in passing yards and produced a career-high touchdown total while limiting turnovers, separating himself during the closing stretch of the regular season.
The award also carried historical significance for the franchise. Stafford became the fourth Rams player to be named MVP, joining Roman Gabriel, Kurt Warner, and Marshall Faulk.
He used the moment to confirm he will return next season, turning his acceptance speech into a personal statement by thanking his wife and daughters last.
