CARLOS’ SUPER SHOT: After 13 seasons, 197 games and 100 sacks, most of them with the Bengals, old friend Carlos Dunlap waved to a Super Bowl Opening Night crowd as a rotational pass rusher on a Chiefs defensive line hoping to match the Eagles’ NFL record-setting pressure.
“Phenomenal. A lot of lights. A lot of people. Time served. I earned my right and I look forward to finishing this thing off,” Dunlap said. “Being in the present, taking it all in. It took me a long tine to get here. This week’s already flying by fast.”
Dunlap, traded by the Bengals in the middle his 11th season with the club in 2020, said it was “sweet,” that he won his first conference championship against Cincy. But he’s not dwelling on it, recalling if he couldn’t get here last year he was glad the Bengals did.
“The Bengals organization is huge chapter in my book,” Dunlap said. “Mr. (Mike) Brown. The Blackburn family. (Director of Ops) Jeff Brickner. If my team (Seattle) wasn’t going, I was excited for the organization. It’s new day over there, you know that.”
Like Spagnuolo, Dunlap offered some kind words on his old teammate Burrow.
“He’s the future of the NFL. Next to Pat Mahomes, who else?” Dunlap said. “Future is his.”
As he looked around at the glitz and hype and all things Super Bowl, he was asked who was the most famous person he’d seen since he’d been here.
When the Bengals took Dunlap in the second round of the 2010 draft, he was coming off a national championship at Florida. A ring, he says, he hasn’t worn since.
“I’m waiting to get a Super Bowl ring,” he said. “That would be a nice little pair to go together.”
