In Super Bowl LIX on February 9, several former New England Patriots, such as JuJu Smith-Schuster and Joshua Uche, will compete against the Kansas City Chiefs. While many Patriots fans might root against the Chiefs as they seek a historic third consecutive title, it's hard to ignore the performance of ex-Patriots on the roster. Smith-Schuster's disappointing stint with New England contrasts with his earlier success at Kansas City, while Uche also made a mark during his tenure with the Patriots before being traded.
Smith-Schuster's productive run with Mahomes didn't translate over the Patriots in 2023, as he only snagged 29 catches for 260 yards on a miserable New England offense.
While most Patriots fans will likely be rooting against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs as they try to secure the first three-peat in NFL history, there are several players on Kansas City's roster who have previous ties to New England.
Uche was a solid pass-rushing regular on New England's defense before getting traded to Kansas City in late 2024.
Smith-Schuster hasn't rebounded in Kansas City this season, catching 17 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns over 13 games.
