The NFL Play Football Family Festival welcomed fans in the South Bay for what organizers described as a last opportunity to take part in Super Bowl week events before the big game.
Attendees were able to try on NFL helmets, get airbrushed hats, pick up free swag and collect autographs from active players.
World huddles up in the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX
Among those meeting fans was Laken Tomlinson, currently a guard for the Baltimore Ravens.
Tomlinson spent the 2017 to 2021 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and continues to call the Bay Area his home base.
"It was an amazing organization I always have a ton of respect for those guys ton of respect for Coach Shanahan. So grateful they traded for me out of Detroit I had a really great time there. Went to a superbowl and everything my daughter is a big fan when she was there. So love of love here," Tomlinson said.
After his time in San Francisco, Tomlinson went on to play for a former divisional rival, the Seattle Seahawks.
That history, he said, makes rooting interest in Super Bowl 60 straightforward.
"I can only root for my guys you know I know they're going go out there and do their thing and I'm so proud of those guys... the offensive line is doing a fantastic job this year I mean watching from a far and admiring those guys. We had an opportunity to play against them as well this season so um a ton of respect for those guys, ton of respect for Mike," Tomlinson said.
Mike Macdonald is in his second year leading Seattle, now poised to help the franchise pursue its second championship.
As Super Bowl week festivities emphasized, success on football's biggest stage depends on all three phases of the game, including special teams.
