ARLINGTON, Texas (BP)--When the Pittsburgh Steelers made their last Super Bowl visit in 2009, team chaplain Kevin Jordan was just a rookie in his first year of NFL ministry.


But when the Steelers return for Super Bowl XLV in Texas this weekend, Jordan returns as a seasoned spiritual veteran attuned to the team's spiritual needs.


Jordan, 38, said he appreciates the strong support and access given to him by head coach Mike Tomlin and his staff.

"Coach Tomlin understands the big picture with this team," Jordan said. "I like what he is doing and he understands what I'm all about."
