HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The NFL is honoring the high schools of former players who participated in Super Bowl LI. This includes players from the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons.
Each year, the NFL sends out gold footballs with the player’s name and his high school that he played for. Since former HHS great Geneo Grissom played for New England, Hutch High received a gold football with his name and the Super Bowl LI emblem on it. The high school took possession of the football this week.
Grissom is one of two former Hutch High players in the NFL right now. The other is Ben Heeney, who plays for the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders.
