A number of NFL players took to their respective social media platforms Sunday to pass along messages in celebration of Father's Day.

Be it an inspiring story, a personal shoutout, or sharing moments spent with their own children, below is a look at the day's most memorable posts from players around the league.

When I first let people follow our journey and everyone started to call me "best dad ever" or a "hero" I really struggled with those titles. I didn't want to get put on a pedestal for just doing what I'm suppose to do as a dad. I later realized that in the eyes of my daughter I am "the best dad ever" and her "hero" because I don't let a day go by without letting her know how much I love her and I will never leave her side! So today, I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the "HEROS" out there because to our kids we are just that!

Dad... We never took many pictures growing up, but we didn't need to bc we always had lasting memories without them. I know you are in Heaven shining down. I Love You. Thanks for being a real man & real dad by inspiring me & loving me & teaching me how to play ball & treat others with Love & Respect. Thanks for pushing me in Sports, school, & life. There are no limits & you truly showed me that... I fight for greatness everyday bc you did. I will reach for the stars... Bc you told me to... But you didn't just tell me. You showed me. I'm smiling today bc you are with God & there is no better joy to know you made it! Love you Pops.
