The NFL Conference Championship Round kicks off in an hour, with two former Rebel players still alive. Could either one be one step closer to a Super Bowl ring?

The Rebels had several past players enter the NFL Playoffs, with just two remaining as we enter Championship night.

First up tonight is the AFC Championship game between Kansas City and Baltimore. Linebacker Tavius Robinson is on the Ravens roster. Robinson was selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, making the 53-man squad before the season.

Tavius Robinson was born in Canada, committing to Ole Miss out of high school in 2020 after posting his highlight tape on social media.

In the NFC Championship game, Detroit take on San Francisco in Santa Clara. Detroit Lions have a former Ole Miss DT in Benito Jones.

Jones has registered 26 tackles and one sack this season since moving from Miami after the 2020 season, Benito Jones has found form under head coach Dan Campbell.

There is a chance that both players can come up against each other in the Super Bowl in two weeks time. However, both their teams will have to do the business tonight.
