Wrestling Mailbag: Wrestlers in the Super Bowl, more Hawkeyes, Alex Marinelli, Spencer Lee

It's Super Bowl week, which means former wrestlers will get a chance to shine on football's biggest stage.

The Kansas City Chiefs have as many as four former wrestlers on their roster: offensive lineman Nick Allegretti, linebacker Dorian O'Daniel, defensive lineman Khalen Saunders and another offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski.

O'Daniel only wrestled as a youth, but his family is littered with Pennsylvania state medalists. Saunders wrestled for four years at Parkway Central, just outside St. Louis. Wisniewski wrestled for Central Catholic in Pennsylvania and his dad, Leo, won a state title.

Allegretti was a four-year starter for Lincoln Way East in Illinois.
