Veach’s favorite moment(s) of Super Bowl LIV

The youngest GM to win a Super Bowl in NFL history shared his favorite moment from Super Bowl LIV. Well, it was more like several moments.

“I just appreciate getting into the bus every day and going to practice,” Veach said. “It’s such a crazy venue and the whole Super Bowl with how it’s magnified under a microscope. I think just being with the players, coaches, personnel staff and trying to keep things as normal as possible. Then just being on the field where there was no media, no spotlights and just being able to share with the guys this moment. I can’t say how many times during the week at practice we’d say, ‘We’re here.’ Then we had an opportunity, coach Jimmy Johnson spoke to the team and that was a special deal. Just the week itself and being with the team in those moments that are similar to what you have in Kansas City. That was special. And the locker room after the game, that just reinforces why you do what you do. It’s all about the guys you work with and accomplishing something together.”

It makes sense why Veach is such a good fit with the Chiefs. He has that same team mindset that allowed them to get to and win the Super Bowl in the first place.
