"After all, he was about 70 miles away from his hometown of Vallejo with his family and friends. Not to mention the additional 71,088 watching his every move live and the 167 million watching at home. Yep, turns out Anderson's big gift he opened early was also a big gift for the city he grew up in. He became the first Vallejoan to win a Super Bowl."
"I talked about how I remembered Ty Law and his interception in 2002, Rich Gannon throwing five interceptions against Tampa Bay in the 2003 Super Bowl, Santonio Holmes and his big catch in the 2009 Super Bowl, and James Harrison and his pick-six in the same game. I even talked about Desmond Howard's touchdown for Green Bay when I was around 6 years old. I remember all of them being the guy in those big games."
C.J. Anderson celebrated his 25th birthday a few days early while playing in the Super Bowl, with thousands in the stadium and millions watching at home. He became the first Vallejoan to win a Super Bowl. He recalled childhood memories of notable Super Bowl plays by Ray Lewis, Ty Law, Rich Gannon, Santonio Holmes, James Harrison and Desmond Howard. Super Bowl 50 marked his second championship appearance after limited action in the Denver Broncos' loss to Seattle two years earlier. His first Super Bowl trip to New York included late nights and sightseeing at landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building. He learned how to handle the media circus.
