Did Former Bills Make an Impact in the Super Bowl?

Sunday's big game saw a familiar face on the field making major contributions in Kansas City's championship game. Sammy Watkins the 4th overall draft pick by the Bills in 2014 spent two years in Buffalo before being traded to Rams in 2017. Watkins landed in KC for the 2018 season and has been a major player. His Superbowl Performance included 5 receptions for 98 yards. Another familiar face in the form of LeSean McCoy watched from the KC sideline in inured reserve. The Journeyman running back has been tearing up defenses for 11 seasons in NFL having spent most of his career with the Eagles. Shady was traded to the Bills for the 2015 season and become a commodity right out of the gate. McCoy was released just prior to the start of the 2019 regular season and picked up by the eventual champions, The Chiefs. He only took one snap in the playoffs before being made inactive.
