SAN FRANCISCO – No football team can find success if the players do not have their wingers on and even off the pitch.
Just like how football fans can’t have football without wings during the Super Bowl and you can’t have wings without Bounty, football teams can’t win without chemistry and you can’t have chemistry without your wingman.
Several duos of teammates joined Bounty’s wingman campaign during Super Bowl week once again to hype their on-field wingmen and discuss what makes them so conducive to the other’s success.

“We were in the same class, so we got drafted to Detroit the same year. We’ve been a big part of what Detroit is building and the culture. From there, we’ve gotten closer on the field. He does his thing, I do mine, and that makes it fun,” Detroit Lions offensive lineman Penei Sewell said of Amon-Ra St. Brown.
“Without him, Jared [Goff] cannot throw the ball. Without Jared throwing the ball, I can’t catch it. So he’s my wingman,” the receiver added of Sewell.
Los Angeles Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey found a new wingman this season in Keenan Allen as the longtime veteran returned to LA after a brief stint in Chicago.
“It meant so much to have him come back. Somebody’s going to win and to be able to get the knowledge from him, the leadership he brought into the receiver room was special,” he said.

Reed Blankenship and Cooper DeJean, members of the Philadelphia Eagles Secondary, have a similar relationship.
“It’s just natural,” DeJean said. “He kind of took me under his wing when I got into the NFL, taught me all the good things and the bad things.
“I wanted to let him make his mistakes, but he didn’t make a lot of them. He’s grown a lot and it’s been fun playing with him,” Blankenship added.
New York Giants rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo became instant fan favorites, and it’s easy to see why.
“It starts with our competitive nature, the way we go about our business every single day and compete, our habits and discipline on the field. At the same time, we just go out there with a ton of passion,” Dart said.

Skattebo added: “We leave no meat on the leg when we play.”
