After Hester's Super Bowl return, Rams' Powell has chance to live same dream

The details on how he got into the stadium are a little fuzzy, but 11-year-old Brandon Powell found himself in the nosebleed seats for Super Bowl XLI, a 2007 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears.

And while the game is mostly remembered for being the first championship won by Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, Powell's lasting memory from that evening was the game's opening kickoff, which legendary return man Devin Hester returned 92-yards for a touchdown.

"Being a little kid, you play Madden, you grow up watching the Super Bowl, you see all the cameras flash on the first kick return," Powell said.
