TEMPE, Ariz. -- Kevin Mawae had it all planned out.
If he wasn't a member of this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame class, he and his wife, Tracy, were going to hop a flight from Atlanta back to Phoenix the morning of Super Bowl LIII so they could return to their home in Scottsdale, Arizona, in time for kickoff. That would have also given Mawae enough time to get some rest before spring practice started the next morning at Arizona State, where he joined the football team as an offensive analyst in March 2018.
But Mawae, 48, didn't need to make contingency plans this year.
