She’s A Sports Lover Too

Growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina, Decker became an avid sports fan. She is particularly fond of the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball and the NFL franchise Carolina Panthers. She also had some experience in front of the camera, having starred in music videos for the band 3 Doors Down and singer Jimmy Buffett.

After landing her first Sports Illustrated appearance in 2006, she was called back in 2007. This is where her work in front of the camera paid off when she was offered the chance to host the behind-the-scenes television special for that issue. She would appear a third time in 2008 and make the cover in 2010.
