We’ve got some Wisconsin Badger-to-Wisconsin Badger praise here.
Former Wisconsin defensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Beau Allen joined the Green Light with Chris Long earlier this week to recap the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl 57 victory.
He spent time during his appearance praising the performance of another former Badger: Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal.

Chenal recorded six tackles, one tackle for loss, a forced fumble and a blocked extra point in the game. I wrote earlier this week that his play practically won the game for the Chiefs, especially the forced fumble and blocked extra point.
Allen brought specific examples of Chenal’s play sticking out:

Allen comes with legitimate credentials. He played six years in the NFL, four with the Philadelphia Eagles where he won Super Bowl 52.
The main storylines after this year’s Super Bowl concluded were Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid’s legacies, Kyle Shanahan’s game management and Brock Purdy’s viability. Many intelligent football minds have pointed to Chenal, though, as one of the unheralded stars of the game.
