It’s not often that two ex-members of the Mid-American Conference, or MAC, go on to compete at the highest level of professional football in the NFL.
It’s rarer still to find them pitted against one another at the Super Bowl – but that’s exactly what will happen on February 3, when Sean McVay’s Rams take on Julian Edelman’s Patriots with a world championship on the line.
Back in college, Edelman didn’t even play receiver; he was actually starting quarterback for the Kent State Golden Flashes from 2006-2008. His career overlapped that of Sean McVay, wide receiver for the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks from 2004-2007.
