Former University of Alabama Crimson Tide star Reggie Ragland and former University of West Alabama running back/return specialist Tyreek Hill, now a star wide receiver, of the Kansas City Chiefs and former Auburn University defensive end Dee Ford and former Samford defensive back Jaquiski Tartt of the San Francisco 49ers are heading to Super Bowl LIV.
The Chiefs beat the Tennessee Titans and another Bama legend, Derrick Henry, on Sunday afternoon to win the AFC Championship. The 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers later the same day to claim the NFC Championship.
The 2020 Super Bowl will be played between Kansas City and the San Francisco on Sunday, February 2, inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Ragland, a linebacker, and Hill helped the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl appearance since 1970.
Wide receiver Gehrig Dieter, another former Alabama player, also wears a Kansas City jersey, albeit on the practice squad.
The ties between the state of Alabama and the upcoming Super Bowl run even deeper. Tartt is from Mobile while Ford is from Odenville and Ragland is from Huntsville.
