Rick Lovato, a New Jersey native and veteran player of the Philadelphia Eagles, is living his unlikely dream as he has arrived in Super Bowl LVII this week. Millions of viewers around the globe will witness this Jersey-born player walk out onto the field, representing all of his larger-than-life hometown. He was once a Pop Warner league teammate of Jesse Bongiovi, the son of iconic NJ rockstar Jon Bon Jovi, who would attend the team's banquets as a show of support.
Another incredible Jersey connection and point of tension in the big game will be seen in Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham. He is remembered for his strip sack in Super Bowl LII, securing the franchise's first-ever Lombardi Trophy. Now, Graham is motivated to bring the title back home and is dreaming of getting a strip sack on the Kansas City Chiefs
