Offensive tackle Prince Tega Wanogho didn’t quite make it to the Super Bowl the previous time that Kansas City played in the NFL’s biggest game. But on Sunday, he played as the Chiefs won the league championship for the 2022 season.

Wanogho became the 19th Auburn alumnus to play in a Super Bowl victory as he got on the field for seven special-teams snaps during Kansas City’s 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

Wanogho was on the field when Harrison Butker kicked the game-deciding field goal with eight seconds remaining. Wanogho’s Super Bowl action on Sunday came with the Chiefs’ kicking unit.

And it also came against his original NFL team.

Wanogho entered the league as a sixth-round selection of the Eagles in the 2020 draft. He spent his rookie season on Philadelphia’s practice squad and played in one game as a practice-squad elevation.

As a member of the practice squad, Wanogho became a free agent one week after the Eagles’ season ended with a 4-11-1 record, and Kansas City signed him for its practice squad.

Wanogho worked in that capacity through two playoff games, but the Chiefs released him before starting their practices for Super Bowl LV, which Kansas City lost 31-9 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Feb. 7, 2021.

The Chiefs re-signed Wanogho for the 2021 season, and he started the campaign on the practice squad. Kansas City signed him for its active roster on Oct. 12, 2021, and he’s been on the 53-man unit since then.

Last season, Wanogho played six offensive snaps in two games. This season, he played in all 20 games for the Chiefs, getting on the field for 58 offensive snaps and 107 special-teams plays.

The 19 Auburn alumni who have played for the winning team in the Super Bowl have produced 25 victories.
