It wasn't A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith or Dallas Goedert who reeled in Jalen Hurts' 27-yard catch early in the first quarter. It was Jahan Dotson, the former first-round pick out of Penn State acquired from the Washington Commanders shortly before the start of the 2024 season.

Barkley and Jahan Dotson, a pair of former Penn State stars, were integral in the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday night. Former Penn State cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields also won as a member of the Eagles’ practice squad.

Eagles receiver Jahan Dotson came up big early for his team in Super Bowl 59, making a key catch that led to the first points of the game for the Birds. Dotson reeled in a 28-yard pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts that was initially ruled a touchdown. However, on replay it was ruled Dotson was just short of the goalline.

Although Barkley had a quieter performance in the Super Bowl in a game where the Chiefs sold out to shut down the run, Barkley still managed to end the game with 57 rushing yards and 42 receiving yards.
