CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Former Illinois football players Nick Allegretti and Greg Lewis are Super Bowl champions again. The two helped the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl LVII title, the organization's second Super Bowl in the last four seasons. 

Allegretti is an offensive lineman for Kansas City and Lewis is the team's running backs coach. The Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Allegretti was a two-time team captain and two-time All-Big Ten selection during his Illinois career from 2014-18. He has spent his first four seasons in the NFL with Kansas City after the Chiefs drafted him in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Allegretti played in every game this season, including three starts. 

Lewis is in his sixth season on staff with Kansas City and second as the running backs coach. He was as a wide receiver for Illinois from 1999-2002, totaling 103 catches for 1,456 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career, including helping Illinois to the 2001 Big Ten championship.
