After years of losing seasons in Tennessee, on top of an 0-16 season in Cleveland, Jason McCourty finally will play in his first Super Bowl.
Former Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan knows a thing or two about Super Bowls. Now with the Titans, Ryan was a contributor to New England's titles in 2014 and 2016.
On Thursday, Ryan left a special message for McCourty to tell the Pats cornerback how excited he is for him to play in the big game for the first time.
Even though McCourty left Tennessee as Ryan entered, it's clear the two have a close bond.
Not only will McCourty play in his first Super Bowl on Feb. 3, but he'll also play alongside his brother Devin, an opportunity he's eternally grateful for.
