RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KNX) — The NFL and the Los Angeles Rams will honor four football players from the California School for the Deaf in Riverside during the coin toss for Super Bowl LVI Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
Trevin Adams, Christian Jimenez, Jory Valencia, and Enos Zornoza were invited by the NFL to stand with the Rams and Cincinnati Bengals captains as honorary captains in recognition of their inspiring season, NBC Los Angeles reported.
The team gained national recognition last fall when they went undefeated in their regular season, making history by playing in the school’s first-ever state championship game.
The Cubs went 12-1 last fall, with the only loss coming to Faith Baptist of Canoga Park in the Southern Section 8-man Division 2 final, the outlet reported.
League officials said the players were selected as part of a celebration of Americans who defy stereotypes. There will also be deaf artists performing in the halftime show, according to ABC Los Angeles.
