Two familiar faces are set to play in Super Bowl LVII

Good morning, Coug fans!

Yesterday was a big day for Washington State football alums Jaylen Watson and Gardner Minshew, as the Eagles and the Chiefs are set to play in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 12th.

Watson, who was drafted to the Chiefs in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL draft, had a great game against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. However, yesterdays interception was not Watson’s first of this postseason journey. The cornerback nailed a one handed catch against the Jaguars on January 21st.

He made a name early for himself when the Chiefs took on the Chargers on September 15th, recording 4 total tackles, and a 99 yard pick 6!
