His rags-to-riches story is an inspiring tale, to say the least. Rodman has impacted future and active players because he was the poster boy for smart work. He was also unapologetically himself.

On the other hand, things have been looking up for Mecole Hardman. He is one touchdown shy from matching his own record he had in 2019 as a rookie. He also became the first wide receiver in Super Bowl history to record two touchdowns on the ground and another one while receiving.

The Chief’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes is an MVP candidate for this season, and for good reason. The team has been relying on Mahomes to get another win. And by channelizing their inner Dennis Rodman, there may be little that can stop them.

Dennis Rodman, on the court, was electrifying. His choices were as unpredictable as he was off the court. That’s what made the player a cut above the rest. The Chiefs would hope to emulate his success and drive to win.
