Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
It's Monday, and I'm willing to bet that most are waking up in a daze after last night's Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score of 40-22. It was a sweet victory for one Tampa-born player who's had a bit of an unconventional journey: Isaiah Rodgers was recruited as a senior at Blake High School in 2016 and selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 draft. In 2023, when he was suspended from the NFL and released from the team, the Eagles picked up the phone and signed the 27-year-old, who had to wait until 2024 to play when he was reinstated. Now, he's a Super Bowl champ—talk about making a comeback.
