2x NFL Super Bowl Champion Chris Maragos takes over as the head coach of Florida high school football program 

St. John Neumann High School welcomed two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Maragos as its new head coach. Maragos played nine NFL seasons for the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles, appearing in 99 games throughout his career.

Maragos replaces Rich Crosby, who resigned citing health issues after overseeing the Celtics for two seasons. The Celtics compete in the Class1A circuit and are 2-3 in their last five games.

Chris Maragos's NFL career, knee injury and court victory over medical negligence.

Maragos, who hails from Wisconsin, began his NFL career in 2010 as an undrafted free agent for the 49ers. He played three games for them before making a switch to the Seahawks, where he played 43 games, earning his first Super Bowl title. After three years with the Seahawks, he joined the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming part of the first Eagles team to win a Super Bowl. Unfortunately, he did not play in the game due to a torn PCL he suffered against the Carolina Panthers in October 2017.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bounce back to the field after his injury and had to call quits in 2019, marking an end to his celebrated NFL career.

"Undeserving, this word encapsulates my entire football career. Unfortunately, my career will be cut short and I'll no longer be able to play due to a knee injury, surgeries, and the rehabilitation from it."

"To all the fans that supported me, especially Eagles fans, thank you from the bottom of my heart.....To all the coaches and trainers who have poured into me to make me the player and man that I am today, I'm forever indebted to you," Chris wrote.

Last February, a Philadelphia court found medical negligence in the case of Chris Maragos' knee injury. According to the ruling, Dr James Bradley and Rothman, the orthopaedics responsible for treating Maragos, failed to heal his injury.

In a statement regarding the verdict, Maragos reflected on his NFL days and the injury he sustained.

"On Sunday, my team played in the Super Bowl, and I could only watch and wonder whether I could have been out there with them had I received proper medical care. While I live in constant pain and will never get back on the field, I hope this decision sends a message to teams' medical staffs that players are people, not just contracts."

Maragos was represented by two law firms, The Beasley Firm and Meyers & Flowers, and was awarded $43.5 million in compensation for improper care.
