East Texas Natives Who Have Played in the Super Bowl
Super Bowl LV is in Tampa, Florida this Sunday, February 7, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You ll gather with friends, eat way to much, only pay attention during the commercial breaks and, oh yeah, watch some football.
In East Texas, however, we ll be rooting for one of our own once again. Whitehouse native Patrick Mahomes will lead his Chiefs and that high powered offense in the big game. A long list of East Texans have played in the Super Bowl.
After some crack research, (pro-football-reference.com, Wikipedia, nfl.com, ESPN) these are East Texans who have made it to the championship game, some were a big part of sports history.

This month triggered me to reminisce about my experience growing up with Black Americans. I remember a Black kid named Teddy from the orphanage in Boston who I greatly admired. Moving to Worcester I attended Commerce High School. I remember Jimmie Gray and Willie Salmon who signed my yearbook. Bunny Price and Phil Price, a teammate on the baseball team, are fondly remembered. A young girl named Catherine Gomes was also pictured in the yearbook. Ironically her son, Bruce, ended up marrying my daughter, Lynn. What a small world. My experiences with these individuals greatly enhanced my life and will be remembered for all time.
