Lenny Will Represent the Chiefs at the Super Bowl

by Joel Thorman on Dec 14, 2009 2:24 PM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

At least Kansas City Chiefs representative will be on the field for this season's Super Bowl. Len Dawson will present this year's Super Bowl trophy to Roger Goodell in South Florida on February 7th, 2010.

Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com reports:

Dawson will carry the trophy to a stage at midfield and hand it off to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who will then present it to the Super Bowl Champions, once the game has gone final. NFL Films will accompany the presentation with a musical score while CBS carries the presentation live on a national broadcast.

Looney points out that other legends such as Don Shula, Doug Williams and Joe Namath have previously done this.

It's the 40th anniversary of the Chiefs first and only Super Bowl victory. The Chiefs beat the Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl IV.

* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
* Stats are for losers

Doug Williams a legend? In his own mind, maybe.
