8 ex-Washington players and coaches in Super Bowl LVIII

Washington 49ers Kyle Shanahan Super Bowl Trent Williams Super Bowl LVIII Washington Redskins Andy Heck Austin Reiter Chase Young

The Kansas City Chiefs look to repeat as Super Bowl champions for the first time since the Patriots repeated back in 2004. Standing in their way are the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

Can Patrick Mahomes win his third Super Bowl? Or can Brock Purdy lead the 49ers to their first championship since 1995?

Sunday’s game features several former Washington coaches and players. The 49ers feature two former Washington players, both of whom were once top-five picks, and their coaching staff has several who either played or coached in Washington.

We look at the eight ex-Redskins/Commanders appearing in Super Bowl LVIII for the Chiefs and 49ers.
