Which former Badgers are playing in the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is finally here, as the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday, with kickoff set for 5:30 p.m. Central.

It’s only fitting that two former Wisconsin Badgers players will suit up in the big game, with one ending up as a victor on Sunday. Kansas City linebacker Leo Chenal and Philadelphia linebacker Zack Baun will both look to be instrumental pieces for their respective teams on Sunday, with both enjoying strong seasons in 2024.

Chenal, who was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, has won back-to-back Super Bowls in his first two seasons in the NFL, while starting a good portion of games in all three years.
