Jordan Kovacs, the former Michigan walk-on, who became a starter and elected a captain, is now in his third season with the Cincinnati Bengals as a defensive quality-control coach.

Kovacs and the Bengals are in Los Angeles preparing to face the L.A. Rams in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Cincinnati overcame an 18-point deficit to upset Kansas City in the AFC Championship to advance.
