The Kansas City Chiefs will once again be playing in the Super Bowl, this time facing the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. A handful of players on the field are former players for the Denver Broncos, but only one was born in the Centennial State.

Mike Pennel Jr. os on his 10th season in the NFL and his fourth season with the Chiefs, but much of his journey to the major leagues happened in Colorado. He played at Grandview High School in Aurora and went to play in college at Scottsdale Community College, Arizona State University and Colorado State University-Pueblo. He has signed to five NFL teams during his career so far.

Sunday will not be his first Super Bowl with the Chiefs, he was part of the team that won Super Bowl LIV in 2020 and Super Bowl LVIII, both against the San Francisco 49ers. If you look for Mike on Sunday he will be wearing a red and white Chiefs jersey No. 69
