Mitch Wishnowsky will be looking to create history and become the first Australian to play in a winning Super Bowl team on Monday (AEDT).
San Francisco’s reliable punter will take the field at Allegiant Stadium to take on the Chiefs, and his wife Maddie explained the ‘nervous energy’ present in Las Vegas.
”I’m very excited, it’s a bit surreal – I think it will hit me once I’m in there,” she said.
“The whole time I’ve been in Vegas, it hasn’t quite sunk in. I will be pretty anxious.
“He is pretty confident, its a bit different this year – it’s his fifth year now. The first year he was getting used to the fact that he’d made it to the NFL, and now it’s like ‘I’m here’ and he has goals to accomplish. He will be pretty nervous, like everyone.
“He just does the same thing every single day – he puts his all into it and constantly making new goals to reach something higher. This year, he said it would be so cool to have that Super Bowl. It’s a constant process … he is always trying to better himself.”
The former Perth tradie will be the second Aussie in two years to feature in the NFL’s biggest game, with Arryn Siposs coming up short for the Eagles last year.
