From Metro Atlanta to the Super Bowl: Local Roots at Super Bowl LX

#wqeb973newz | Atlanta,GA-🏈✨ From metro Atlanta to the Super Bowl stage. As Super Bowl LX approaches, Georgia’s influence is once again in the spotlight. Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, a Centennial High School graduate, and New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson, who starred at Eagles Landing High School, both trace their roots back to metro Atlanta.

Former teachers and coaches say Macdonald’s leadership, discipline and character were evident early on, helping propel him from a high school football captain to an NFL head coach on the sport’s biggest stage. Meanwhile, Gibson’s speed, work ethic and commitment made him stand out long before he reached the league, inspiring those who coached and taught him along the way.

Their journeys continue to motivate students across metro Atlanta, showing that success in sports can take many paths — from the field to the sidelines — and that hometown roots still matter at the highest level.
