During Super Bowl LVII that the Kansas City Chiefs won, one of the most outstanding players was the player of Puerto Rican origin Isiah Pacheco, who ended up being vital in obtaining the championship for his team.
At the end of the 2022-23 NFL season, Pacheco is one of the few Latino representatives in the league, which has less and less presence of players with Hispanic roots, since it only reaches 2%. , even when in the United States 17.3% of the total population are.
In addition to Pacheco, who wasn’t on many’s radar as a seventh-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, other notable players include Chris Olave (New Orleans Saints), Roy Lopez (Houston Texans), Joe Cardona (New England Patriots) and Michael Davis (Los Angeles Chargers), being four of the most important for the role they play in their teams.
If talking regarding Super Bowl LVII, besides Pacheco there was only one other player of Latino origin present, it was Robert Quinn, the defensive end of the Philadelphia Eagles, who counts on his Puerto Rican mother as a link to the island. In addition, the Chiefs running back became just the third Puerto Rican champion in the NFL, joining Ron Rivera and Víctor Cruz.
