The Kansas City Chiefs only had seven-time Pro Bowl LB Terrell Suggs on the team for a brief time, but he’ll long be remembered for the boost he provided, helping the team secure their Super Bowl LIV title. Suggs made his name with the Baltimore Ravens for 15 seasons before splitting time in 2019 with the Arizona Cardinals and Chiefs. The veteran pass rusher didn’t suit up in 2020, taking the season off, in part due to COVID-19.

Suggs has been focused on a different sport lately, taking a personal interest in this year’s NCAA Men’s basketball tournament. His second cousin, Jalen Suggs, is one of the rising stars on the top-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs. Jalen’s undefeated Bulldogs team advanced to tonight’s national championship game against the Baylor Bears thanks to his late-game heroics during Saturday’s semi-final.

With seconds remaining, Jalen drained an almost-half-court buzzer-beating shot in overtime to defeat the UCLA Bruins. The clutch shot and the celebration afterward sparked a reaction from all over social media, including Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.

Of course, Terrell also had some celebratory words for his cousin.

As Jalen’s basketball stardom grows, it is interesting to recall that he was also a highly-touted high school football prospect as a quarterback. Following his sensational performance all season and during the NCAA Tournament, Jalen is expected to be one of the first players selected in the 2021 NBA draft. Rest assured that Terrell will be rooting for his cousin every step of the way.

You can watch Jalen and the Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the Baylor Bears tonight on your local CBS stations at 8:20 p.m. ET.
