This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Georgia Bulldogs legend Sony Michel, who starred as one of the top running backs in the country from 2014 to 2017 before becoming a first-round NFL Draft pick.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Michel reveals that he teamed up with Kingsford last weekend to tailgate at his alma mater, the University of Georgia. The former Rose Bowl hero shared his thoughts on former college teammate and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s game-winning touchdown catch in Super Bowl LVIII.
“You may not win every game, but you can win every tailgate with Kingsford,” said Michel as he embraced the return to his alma mater, grilling with students in attendance for the Bulldogs’ victory over the Tennessee Volunteers while hosting the latest stop of the ‘Kingsford College Football Tailgate Tour.’
Michel and current Chiefs receiver Hardman were teammates for two seasons in Georgia. He maintains a friendship with the three-time Super Bowl champion and recalls watching the thrilling ending to last season’s Super Bowl.
“Him (Mecole Hardman) catching the game-winning touchdown. It was amazing to see you talking about a guy I’ve seen work since those college days, getting to see his hard work come to light right from the biggest stage,” said Michel. “I know what it feels like to score in those games, and it’s a wonderful feeling.”
“I was happy for him. The only thing that’s crazy, it sucks, like he’s got one up on me now. He has three Super Bowls; I have two. So that’s one of the conversations we have all the time, where it’s just like, Man, I can’t, I’m not coming out of retirement, to try to catch you. So, I’m super excited for him and how his career is going.”
