Celebrity superfans to introduce Super Bowl teams’ entrances

The Super Bowl always features a galaxy full of star power, both on and off the field.

With the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles meeting in Super Bowl 59, the celebrity fans of both teams come to the forefront. And the NFL certainly welcomes the association, with many of those big names being asked to play semi-official roles in Super Bowl week activities.

As kickoff approaches, keep an eye out for some familiar faces from the world of entertainment.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport dropped this interesting little nugget about a pair of NFL superfans in actors Jon Hamm and Bradley Cooper.

As the two teams emerge from the tunnel leading to their respective locker rooms, Missouri native Hamm will introduce the Chiefs, while Pennsylvania’s own Cooper will introduce the Eagles.
