Chiefs, 49ers have 5 former Dolphins in Super Bowl 58

The Miami Dolphins were eliminated from the postseason following their 27-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs back in the divisional round, so it’s been some time since they last played football.

While Dolphins fans prepare for the offseason, there are a number of former Dolphins who are still playing for a Super Bowl championship that they can support.

This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are set to battle in a Super Bowl matchup, where one team will walk out with a Lombardi Trophy, and there are five former Dolphins on their rosters and practice squads.

Here’s a look at which players who once donned the aqua and orange will play in this one:
