The reigning Super Bowl champions are securing key players of their team to new deals as they go searching for the historic ‘three-peat’.
Kansas City Chiefs became the first team in 20 years to secure consecutive Vince Lombardi Trophies.
Now, they are on the hunt and thirsty to become the first franchise to win three in a row.
Chiefs off-season moves
The current offseason is crucial to make sure all the pieces are in place to stand a chance of claiming the feat.
Defensive interior Lineman Chris Jones signed a five-year deal becoming the highest ever paid in his position.
L’Jarius Sneed has been given the ‘non-exclusive franchise tag’ as they try to work out a deal.
These are the big headlines dominating off-season situations.
However, there has been an unsung Super Bowl LVIII hero who has penned a new deal.
Defensive tackle Mike Pennel will be returning for the Chiefs’ 2024 season.
Pennel shines in the Super Bowl
According to PFF, Pennel was the highest-graded defensive interior lineman in the recent Super Bowl final.
The 32-year-old secured a grade of 82.6 beating his fellow superstar teammate Jones to the top spot.
Pennel dominated the 49ers offensive line and contributed six combined tackles which was the fourth most for a Chief.
Additionally, Pennel was matched up against the 11-time Pro Bowler Trent Williams on the line.
Pennel was not fazed… he dominated so much that he nullified the run game.
Christian McCaffery was the 2023 NFL rushing yards leader and the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
However, he only managed to secure 80 yards rushing on the infamous night.
To put things into perspective, Patrick Mahomes rushed for 66 yards in the same contest.
The Colorado native played a crucial role in McCaffery’s limited performance.
Pennel played for the Chiefs back in the 2019 season and won a ring with Andy Reid.
Two chapters in Chicago followed with a spell at Atlanta in between those.
Pennel gets a new deal
In October 2023 Pennel signed with the Chiefs’ practice squad and the rest is history.
Ultimately, his performances have rewarded him with a new deal.
He took to X in repose to the Chiefs’ post about his new deal: “Lets goo!!!!!! #ChiefsKingdom.”
Pennel will return to the pack as they hunt down the ‘three-peat’.
