Two months ago, Shiloh Keo was without a job, wondering if he would ever play in the National Football League again.
But on Sunday afternoon, the former Vandal safety was standing on Levi’s Field with the Lombardi Trophy as orange and white confetti rained down from the sky.
When the Cincinnati Bengals released Keo in September, the safety spent the next several months in Boise rehabbing a previous injury.
With two young children and a third on the way, Keo was considering retirement and life after football.
“I hadn’t had official thoughts about it, but this past two years has been really hard on myself and my family,” Keo said in an interview last week with The Seattle Times.
