NFL Championship weekend is in the books, and the Super Bowl LV matchup is set: The Kansas City Chiefs, led by young superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, who they added this offseason.
The defending champion Chiefs will look to reclaim their World Championship title for the second year in a row, and as they do, a pair of former Gators will be vying for rings: receiver Demarcus Robinson and punter Tommy Townsend.
Robinson already won the Super Bowl with Kansas City last year, but Townsend, a rookie, looks to capture his first.
The Chiefs selected Robinson in the fourth round in 2016, and since then, he’s been a fixture of this receiving corps. This season, he had 45 catches for 466 yards and three touchdowns.
Townsend joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent this past offseason, and though he wasn’t punting at the beginning of the year, he has since assumed the starting role. He has 50 punts on the season for an average of 45.1 yards.
The two former Gators will try to lead their team to a Super Bowl title in Tampa on Feb. 7.
