Former Shocker Kellum had Super Bowl moment

Marv Kellum?

He’s a part of Super Bowl history with ties to Kansas and Wichita. But how many recognize his name?

He is a 1970 graduate of Perry-Lecompton High, near Topeka, and he played college football at Wichita State.

But how many know his Super Bowl claim to fame?

It’s been 42 years since Kellum, then a free-agent rookie with the Pittsburgh Steelers playing in Super Bowl IX, was, as he says, in the right place and the right time to recover a Bill Brown fumble at the Minnesota 30-yard line on the kickoff to begin the second half.
