Webb went on to reveal her reliance on God for direction in her life.
"It's just so surprising to me. I don't know what God has planned, but obviously He's working on something. When Sports Illustrated called it just became even more real that this is happening. Every single model wants to be in Sports Illustrated, and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity."
McCarron seems to feel just as blessed to have her as a part of his life.
"Loving my life like no other! Beautiful family, great girl beside me and a small circle of great friends and my teammates," McCarron posted to Twitter around the same time. "#blessedfromabove."
