For the second straight season, former Georgia Tech kicker Harrison Butker was a key to the Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.

It was quite the Super Bowl for Butker, who nailed four field goals, including the longest field goal in Super Bowl History. The former Yellow Jacket hit the field goal to send the game into overtime, where Patrick Mahomes would find Mecole Hardman for the game-winning touchdown.

Butker has now won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs.

Butker is one of the best kickers in the NFL and has been a fantastic kicker since his days at Georgia Tech.
