onejayhawk Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Jarrick McKinnon could have made the record books with a Super Bowl TD. Instead, he entered the fabled halls of mandatory replay by dropping to the ground and sliding to the two yard line. He finally has spoken about it.https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/chiefs_jerick_mckinnon_opens_up_about_famous_super_bowl_slide/s1_13132_39087840 In an interview with Adam Teicher, McKinnon said I don’t think in the moment I understood the magnitude of it. We were just running a play and I was just doing what I was supposed to. Afterward, after I had a chance to sit back, it really hit me. It started to become bigger than I thought it was. It’s part of my legacy. It’s a great picture of putting the team first. That’s what I’ve always been about. That play had a lot of significance to me.

So glad we brought him back. He meant SO much for us last year and honestly I don’t think we make the SB without his contribution last year.

That he downplays it as just doing his job is the mark of a true professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
