Arizona Cardinals fans probably don’t need more reasons to root for the Kansas City Chiefs over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV, but there is one big reason why they should.

There are five former Arizona Cardinals players who play for the Chiefs.

The 49ers have exactly zero player ties to the Cardinals, which is actually rare. As we have found out during the season and the playoffs, almost every team has at least one player who spent time at some point with the Cardinals.

But they have none. Who are the five former Cardinals with the Chiefs?

Tyrann Mathieu

Cardinals fans will remember Mathieu, as he was one of the more popular players when he was with the team. He was drafted by Arizona in the third round in 2013. He played five seasons and had two major knee injuries. He also was given a huge contract extension. But after 2017, he was asked to take a paycut and he was not willing. He was cut for salary cap purposes and played one season with the Houston Texans before signing a multi-year deal with the Chiefs.
