Six Former Bulldogs Earn Super Bowl Rings With Eagles

Georgia makes it a national leading 24 straight with at least one player on the Super Bowl rosters

NEW ORLEANS, La. --- Six Philadelphia Eagle defenders who were on previous Georgia rosters helped their squad down the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday night.

Highlighted by a sack, Jordan Davis had two tackles during the matchup. The Eagles kept the Chiefs scoreless in the first half to win their second Super Bowl in franchise history (2017 season). Nolan Smith, Jalen Carter, Kelee Ringo and Lewis Cine also suited up for Philadelphia during the team's 15^th win of the year.

Nakobe Dean, who finished second on the team during the regular season with 128 stops, was on the injured reserve list after sustaining a knee injury during the Eagles' Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers.

A total of eight former Bulldogs were on rosters in Super Bowl LIX making it 24 consecutive years that at least one former Georgia player has appeared on a Super Bowl team.

Mecole Hardman, who had the game-winning touchdown catch in last year's Super Bowl, was on the Chiefs' injured reserve list while Malik Herring was also on this year's Kansas City roster.
