Isaiah Buggs will continue his professional career with a Super Bowl Champion.
He joined the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad on Jan. 4, two days after getting released from the Detroit Lions.
The Louisiana native helped the Chiefs capture a Vince Lombardi Trophy in Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, Nev. Buggs became the latest University of Alabama alum from the Nick Saban era to earn a Super Bowl ring. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Buggs signed a reserve/future contract to remain with the Chiefs.
