Returner among several feeling very lucky this Super Bowl

Trent Taylor missed the Super Bowl in Miami with San Francisco because of a foot injury that cost him the entire 2019 season.

The wide receiver has a rare second chance with Cincinnati two years later.

And yes, it means so very much.

“It’s a huge deal for me personally because you know guys in this league … guys will play 12, 15 years and never get an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl,” Taylor said. “So once I missed that first opportunity, I didn’t know if it would ever come back.”

Taylor says being in this game might not really hit him until the Bengals land in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The 5-foot-8 Taylor was a fifth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech in 2017 and played 41 games with the Niners.

Cincinnati signed Taylor to the practice squad in September, and he played in four games during the regular season. Taylor has handled punt returns in each playoff game — the first three of his career — and knows he’ll be playing in this Super Bowl.

“Actually playing in the game, it’s going to be a huge deal for me,” Taylor said. “I’m 100% looking forward to it and so thankful for another opportunity at it.”

Eric Weddle played 12 NFL seasons, then retired after the 2019 schedule. Thanks to a call from the Los Angeles Rams — desperate at the time after injuries in the secondary — the two-time All Pro safety finally will play in the game that eluded him in stints with the Chargers and Baltimore.

Pretty lucky timing for Weddle. Same for the Rams.

Weddle, 37, went from working out to stay in shape for pick-up ball to being the Rams’ leading tackler in the NFC championship game. He went from playing 19 snaps in the Rams’ wild-card win over Arizona to 61 in the divisional win over Tom Brady and the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Then Weddle led the Rams with nine tackles, including one for a loss, helping Los Angeles clinch their second Super Bowl berth in four seasons and the safety’s first.

“Eric Weddle has injected an amazing amount of positive energy,” Rams coach Sean McVay said.

Defensive lineman Damion Square also will be playing in his first Super Bowl after becoming the first NFL player to play for two different teams in the playoffs in the same season.

Square actually had three snaps for the Las Vegas Raiders in their wild-card loss to Cincinnati. Then he joined the Bengals’ practice squad and played 15 snaps on special teams in the AFC championship contest.

Not bad for someone who played in only three playoff games combined before this postseason
