SAN FRANCISCO – No football team can succeed if the players do not have their wingers on the field, and even off it.
Just like football fans can’t have football without wings during the Super Bowl, and you can’t have wings without Bounty, football teams can’t have victories without chemistry, and you can’t have chemistry without your wingman.
Many teammate duos once again joined the Bounty wing campaign during Super Bowl week to promote their wing players on the field and discuss what makes each so conducive to the other’s success.

“We were in the same class, so we were drafted to Detroit the same year. We were a big part of what Detroit is building and the culture. From there, we got closer on the field. He does his thing, I do mine, and that makes it fun,” Detroit Lions offensive lineman Penei Sewell said of Amon-Ra St. Brown.
“Without him, Jared [Goff] I can’t throw the ball. Without Jared throwing the ball, I can’t catch it. So he’s my wingman,” the receiver added of Sewell.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey found a new tight end this season in Keenan Allen, as the longtime veteran returned to Los Angeles after a brief stint in Chicago.
“It meant so much to have him back. Someone’s going to win, and being able to gain knowledge from him, the leadership he brought to the front office was special,” he said.

Reed Blankenship and Cooper DeJean, members of the Philadelphia Eagles secondary, have a similar relationship.
“It’s just natural,” DeJean said. “He kind of took me under his wing when I got into the NFL, and taught me all the good and bad things.
“I was going to let him make his mistakes, but he hasn’t made a lot of them. He’s grown a lot and it’s been fun playing with him,” Blankenship added.
New York Giants rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo instantly became fan favorites, and it’s easy to see why.
“It starts with our competitive nature, the way we go about our business every day and compete, our habits and our discipline on the field. At the same time, we go at it with a ton of passion,” Dart said.
