Q: What's a 23-year-old from Ada, doing at the Super Bowl? A: We know

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, January 27, 2014

The opening line from the Denver Post feature reads: "It would take a major catastrophe for Broncos rookie Zac Dysert to play in Super Bowl XLVIII against the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday."

You know it, and he knows it.

But that doesn't mean the 23-year-old quarterback from Miami (Ohio) hasn't enjoyed every moment of his ride to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Sure, he didn't take a snap during the regular season, and even his preseason playing time was sparse — 12-of-23 passing for 179 yards and one touchdown.

The feature on Ada's own Dysert reveals some of his own thoughts about playing with Denver and going to the Super Bowl.
