Big picture view:

The Chiefs have been one of the best teams in the NFL for the past several seasons and have veteran stars like quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, who is dating pop icon Taylor Swift

The Eagles are back in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons and will try to win their first title since 2018. Philadelphia is led by running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts. 

The Chiefs-Eagles pairing is a Super Bowl rematch of two years ago, when Kansas City won 38-35 in Glendale, Arizona.

Here’s a state by state breakdown of players on each team. It includes where they went to college and where they were born. The list also includes a few players with ties outside the U.S. Details for players can be found on ESPN.com and individual team sites for the Chiefs and Eagles.
