Super Bowl LX is set as the New England Patriots complete a seven-year rebuild to return to a place they called home, while they face off against a familiar foe in the Seattle Seahawks, led by one of the best redemption stories in sports history behind quarterback Sam Darnold.

Moreover, this is the time to highlight some of the players who made the journey alongside these two teams and wore the orange and green during their time with the University of Miami. Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo, Patriots rookie kicker Andres Borrogales, and veteran defensive lineman Leonard Taylor will each be at the big game.

Arroyo has been in and out of the lineup all season, battling injuries, while Taylor made the game-changing play against the Denver Broncos that allowed Borrogales to kick a field goal, which was the reason the Patriots won the game.

They had the guts, the faith, and the trust to look at a place that was a complete mess and say, "I'm going to be the person. I'm going to be a man of action. And I'm going to make things real and I'm going to make the University of Miami a prominent program once again. And we're going to win. And we're going to win big. And we're going to change the culture.”
