McAfee, who tweeted Thursday he was joining World Wrestling Entertainment, took Samantha Lundy to Hawaii, WXIN reported. The couple took a helicopter to a waterfall, where McAfee popped the question, the television station reported.

McAfree, known as "The Boomstick" during his eight-season NFL career with the Colts (2009-2016), tweeted that the couple "smiled, laughed and cried a bit" before they sat down to sandwiches at a table in front of the waterfall.

“Yesterday was awesome,” McAfee wrote. “I’m the luckiest dude on this here planet.”
