Bradley and Nikki Bozeman send hopeful message from Super Bowl LVIII

Carolina Panthers center Bradley Bozeman won’t be coming away from Las Vegas with any hardware—from Super Bowl LVIII nor from NFL Honors. But that didn’t stop him from repping his team at the biggest game of them all.

On Sunday night, Carolina’s 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee and his wife Nikki (oh, and their second child) were in attendance at Allegiant Stadium for a classic battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. And Nikki, one of the truest members of the Carolina faithful, posted the following on Twitter around kickoff:

About four hours later, the Bozemans would see Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs capture their third Lombardi Trophy in five years. Mahomes, who earned his third Super Bowl Most Valuable Player nod, led a walk-off 75-yard touchdown drive to clinch a thrilling 25-22 win.

They also watched an old friend tear up the turf in his first try at a ring. Former Panthers running back and current 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, who played six games behind Bozeman in 2022, recorded a game-high 160 yards from scrimmage—with 21 of them coming on a touchdown reception in the second quarter.

But if Nikki’s manifestation comes true, Bradley and the rest of the Panthers organization will be doing a little more than watching the Super Bowl come next February.
