In 1967, four former Auburn players started for Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I

In 1967, they might as well have been called the Kansas City Tigers. Because four—count’em, four—starters for the AFL champs who lined up against the Green Bay Packers in the first-ever Super Bowl played their college ball at Auburn.

Wayne Frazier was actually the very first man introduced at a Super Bowl. “Starting at center for the Kansas City Chiefs,” Frazier was an All-SEC center at Auburn from 1958-61. The Chicago Bears drafted him in the 16th round of the 1961 NFL Draft; the San Diego Chargers took him in the 1962 AFL Draft.
