The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII thanks in large part to the strength of their stout defense, led by former Mississippi State star Fletcher Cox.
The talented defensive tackle has been a stalwart in the middle of the Eagles’ defensive line for a few years now, and after his Super Bowl victory, his hometown of Yazoo City, Mississippi, decided to honor him.
As you can see in the tweet below, Yazoo City named the longest street “Fletcher Cox Road” to celebrate the ex-Bulldog’s achievements:

Cox recorded 5.5 sacks in the regular season and added one more in the postseason. He also had two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown.
If Cox keeps helping the Eagles win Super Bowls, the next honor may be the city of Philadelphia naming a street after him.
