Chiefs DL Derrick Nnadi Celebrated Super Bowl Win By Paying for More Than 100 Dog Adoptions
By Karl Rasmussen
Of all the ways Kansas City Chiefs players have been spotted celebrating in the aftermath of the team's Super Bowl LIV victory, none are even close to as heartwarming as the actions of defensive lineman Derick Nnadi.
The Chiefs' D-lineman has incredibly offered to pay for the adoption of more than 100 dogs from the KC Pet Project, a shelter in Kansas City.

The touching gesture from Nnadi has been admired by Chiefs fans who have sang out their praise for the 23-year-old.
While many players would immediately be thinking about painting the town red in celebration after a Super Bowl win, Nnadi had other plans, and arranged for the adoption of the 100+ dogs.

The partnership with the KC Pet Project was sponsored by the Derrick Nnadi Foundation, which aims works to promote positive change and give back to those in need. The foundation is based in Atlanta, GA.
Nnadi made four tackles on Sunday, including one for loss, but the defensive lineman will most be remembered for his heroics after the team hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.
