5 quotes from Louisville football legend ahead of Eagles vs Chiefs Super Bowl clash

Super Bowl 59 is set to take place tomorrow evening at 6:30 p.m. local time as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Eagles are seeking their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history, and the Chiefs are seeking history and securing the first ever three-peat in NFL Super Bowl era.

Mekhi Becton is also trying to etch his name in Louisville football history and become a Super Bowl champion and join an elite category. He would become the first Louisville football player to win a Super Bowl and take home a ring since Tutu Atwell and Javian Hawkins back in 2022.

He is now on the Philadelphia Eagles where he is the starting right guard, and has become a key piece in one of the league’s best rushing attacks.
