AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.
- Seven players with Kansas City ties appear on Seahawks and Patriots Super Bowl LX rosters.
- Several players began at high schools or Missouri and Kansas colleges before NFL careers.
- Injuries and practice‑squad status leave some local players inactive for Super Bowl LX.
Once upon a time, Chiefs fans were hoping simply to see their favorite team make it to the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs ended a five-decade drought when they won Super Bowl LIV, and then made it to the NFL’s ultimate game four more times since then. For the first time since 2022, the Chiefs won’t be in the Super Bowl, which feels a little strange, right?
But there are eight players with ties to the Kansas City sports scene who are with the Seahawks or Patriots, who will meet in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.
No matter which team wins, a former Missouri Tigers player is guaranteed to win a Super Bowl ring. Here is more on those eight players.
Jalen Sundell, Maryville, Missouri
Sundell, a center, signed with the Seahawks in 2024 after he played at North Dakota State. He was a four-year letterman at Marvyille High as an offensive tackle and defensive end. He was a two-time all-conference selection for the Spoofhounds.
After appearing in 12 games as a rookie for Seattle, Sundell started 13 games at center for the Seahawks and both of their playoff games.
Drew Lock, Missouri, Lee’s Summit
The former Lee’s Summit High School and Mizzou star is in his second stint with the Seahawks. He’s backing up starting quarterback Sam Darnold. He appeared in five games for the Seahawks this past season, throwing three passes.
Mason Richman, Blue Valley High School
Richman, an offensive lineman, was selected by the Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He attended Iowa after playing at Blue Valley High School. Richman, who is from Leawood, appeared in two games with Seattle.
Bryce Cabeldue, Kansas
An offensive lineman, Cabeldue was a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He appeared in eight games as a reserve/special-teams player for the Seahawks this past season. Unfortunately, he was placed on injured reserve last week and will miss Super Bowl LX.
Logan Brown, Kansas
Brown, who was Cabeldue’s teammate on the Jayhawks’ offensive line, was signed to Seattle’s practice squad on Dec. 3. That’s two former KU players who could end up with a Super Bowl ring. And one can’t help but wonder if there has been any Border War talk in the Seahawks’ locker room with Lock.
Jacardia Wright, Missouri State and Kansas State
Wright signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent following the NFL Draft. Wright, who started his collegiate career at Kansas State and finished it at Missouri State, is on Seattle’s practice squad/injured list.
But Wright played in Seattle’s 44-13 win against the Saints, rushing for 20 yards in five carries.
Marcus Bryant, Missouri
Bryant was selected by the Patriots in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Missouri. He appeared in 12 games. Bryant was the Tigers’ starting left tackle in 2024.
Yasir Durant, Missouri
Durant’s career started in 2020 with the Chiefs and he’s been with the Saints and Patriots. Durant, an offensive tackle, has been on New England’s injured reserve list for the entire 2025 season.
