One of the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive linemen is one of our own — and now he's a Super Bowl champion.

And in a post-game interview with the New York Post, Mekhi Becton got emotional thinking about everyone in the River City who saw the Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

"I'm a kid from Richmond, Virginia. People don't make it out of Richmond from where I'm from. I'm not supposed to be here right now. I was thinking about that and thinking about all the people watching me back home. I was doing it for them, man."

— Mekhi Becton, a Highland Springs High School graduate, to the NY Post.
