As Bears fans sit and wonder what could’ve been if their team drafted Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in 2017, they can take solace in the fact that Chicago area natives will be playing in the biggest game of the year Sunday.

Before he became a lineman for the 49ers, Tomlinson was raised in Rogers Park.
