From Practice Squads to Super Bowl: The Marshall Lang Saga

Marshall Lang, a resilient undrafted tight end, finds himself on the New England Patriots sideline for the Super Bowl after bouncing between practice squads. Despite not playing, he cherishes the journey and the potential of earning a championship ring if his team wins.

Marshall Lang's journey through the NFL this season has been nothing short of a dramatic saga, culminating in him joining the New England Patriots on the sidelines for the Super Bowl against his former team, the Seattle Seahawks.

Lang, an undrafted tight end, began his professional football career by signing with the Seahawks in May 2025. However, his path was rocky; he was cut in August, briefly picked up by the Patriots in October, released two days later, and subsequently bounced back to Seattle's practice squad in November.

His persistence paid off, and he rejoined the Patriots on December 30. Though he won't be playing on Sunday, Lang will be an essential support as a practice squad member. If the Patriots win, Lang will earn a championship ring — a reward for his relentless determination.
