When the Los Angeles Rams face the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, it will mark the first time head coach Sean McVay competes against New England as a head coach.
Much of the matchup is unchartered territory for the 33-year-old McVay, but there’s one particular player he’s already shared the field with multiple times. When McVay was a college wide receiver at Miami University, the RedHawks battled Kent State in both 2006 and 2007. On the Kent State roster was none other than Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.
Unsurprisingly, Edelman and McVay had significant roles in both games.
