Here's an interesting article related to the ratings of high school recruits. You would think that there would be more 4 & 5 star recruits on the 2 Super Bowl teams. The 49ers only have three 5 star recruits starting and 2 of them are Ohio State DEs. They even have 4 starting players that were unranked. The Chiefs only have two five star recruits starting and one of their best players was just a 2 star and the 85th best TE in his class.

Super Bowl 2024 rosters: How the 49ers, Chiefs starters rated as high school recruits before NFL

From all different eras, unranked to top of the class, here is each Super Bowl starter's star ranking out of high school​

Super Bowl LVIII kicks off Sunday with the San Francisco 49ers squaring off against the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The two teams are led by standout quarterbacks with second-year sensation Brock Purdy hoping to cap a breakout year by helping the 49ers to the NFL's most illustrious achievement, while Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes is going for a second straight Super Bowl win and third in the past six years.

Despite what some might expect, neither Purdy nor Mahomes were nationally-sought-after recruits when they were signing out of high school. Both ranked as three-star prospects as Purdy sat outside the top 800 recruits nationally while Mahomes reported offers from just three schools. But those two are emblematic of their teams. Of 22 listed offensive starters for the Super Bowl, 17 were either three-star prospects or lower out of high school. A handful were completely unranked.

Comparatively, the defense reads like a high school All-American team -- especially along the defensive line. Three of San Francisco's starting defensive linemen were five-star prospects. Three of Kansas City's starters in the trenches ranked inside the top 100 nationally in their respective classes.

Bosa and Young putting on recruiting tape for Ohio State at the super bowl. Killing it
When they weren’t getting their jerseys ripped off or tackled by the Chiefs tackles. All they missed holding calls made me sick in the second half. But not as much as having to see Taylor swift every five minutes.

Bet my wife on the over/under on how many times tv presented us with Taylor's box. Unfortunately the taping ran out before game was decided, but before it ran out of tape, the count was at 10. Certainly had a few more of her jumping up and down as KC scored.....sad for that loss for the Niners. Yeah, KC set the NFL record for uncaught holding on the Niners two DEs.....
