In a new video put together by the NFL Players Association, current NFL stars express their appreciation for the DC Comics hero known as Wonder Woman ahead of her standalone film’s arrival in theaters next month.

“To me Wonder Woman is someone that can always be there for you,” Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said, before Green Bay Packer linebacker Clay Matthews describes her as “calm” and “courageous.”

“She makes it look easy,” Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell said with Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller adding, “Consistently is wonderful.” Each of the players go on to share their inspiration which has been offered from their own mothers, who have worked hard to help them achieve the dream of playing football in the NFL. Before the video concludes, each player thanks their mother for loving and supporting them, as clips from the upcoming Wonder Woman film take the screen.

Wonder Woman hits movie theaters around the world this summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action-adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and is written by Allan Heinberg, Geoff Johns, and Zack Snyder. The film stars Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), Chris Pine (Steve Trevor), Robin Wright (General Antiope), Connie Nielsen (Queen Hippolyta), David Thewlis, Elena Anaya, Lucy Davis (Etta Candy), Danny Huston, Ewen Bremmer, Doutzen Kroes, Samantha Jo (Euboea), Florence Kasumba (Senator Acantha), Said Taghmaoui, Eleanor Matsuura (Epione), Emily Carey (Young Diana), and Lisa Loven Kongsli (Menalippe).
