This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with retired NFL linebacker turned actor Stevie Baggs Jr.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Baggs discussed his partnership with Beyond the Game Health, which contributes to youth in the community. He also revealed his unique connection to Super Bowl LX.
"During my career, I didn't even understand that the game was as mental as it was when I was playing it. You start to really recognize that later on in your career," said Baggs, "But when I fully retired, I was able to step away from the game to see it for what it is, as opposed to what I wanted it to be. I was able to really figure out that everything is mental."
A 10-year veteran of professional football who has transitioned to acting, Baggs Jr. is known for his powerful presence, humanitarian work, and dedication to youth development. He focuses on bringing a "champion mindset" coaching style and teaching young athletes excellence both on and off the field.
Super Bowl LX took place recently between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks—the first Super Bowl without the Kansas City Chiefs since the 2021 season. Baggs shared his thoughts on the matchup and his family connection shortly before the game.
"Since my (Baltimore) Ravens got beat, I kind of stopped watching. I was just watching the highlights, but I have a little bit of a shoe in, because my cousin plays for the (Seattle) Seahawks, and he's injured now, so it's a little bit bittersweet. " Shout-out to Kenny McIntosh," said Baggs. "He's named after my granddad." My granddad's name is Kenny, and so I gotta go with Seattle just for little cuz."
McIntosh was unavailable during the 2025 season for the Super Bowl LX champions due to being placed on injured Reserve after tearing his ACL in his left knee during training camp.
