Another former Indiana football player will have a chance to play in a Super Bowl.
Cody Latimer had a catch for a first down and made solid special teams plays on Sunday for the Denver Broncos in their 20-18 victory over the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship.
Latimer and the Broncos will play in Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7 in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Latimer made several nice plays on special teams Sunday, a game highlighted by the latest — and perhaps final — playoff matchup between quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
Latimer had one reception in the game, catching a 13-yard pass from Manning.
Latimer’s special teams plays stood out the most.

With Denver facing fourth-and-15 at its own 15 in the third quarter, Broncos punter Britton Colquitt boomed a 53-yarder. Latimer tackled New England returner Danny Amendola at the Patriots’ 33 after a 1-yard gain.
The Broncos held the Patriots to a field goal on the ensuing possession.
In the fourth quarter, after a 54-yard punt, Latimer held Amendola to a 3-yard return, tackling him at the New England 29 with 4:35 to play.
The Broncos ended up stopping the Patriots on downs on that possession.
During the 2015 regular season, Latimer had six receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown. He also had two rushes for one net yard and 27 return yards.
Latimer had two catches for 18 yards in Denver’s divisional playoff game.
The 6-foot-3 receiver was a second round pick of the Broncos in 2014 after his junior season at Indiana.
Latimer had 1,096 receiving yards on 72 catches as an IU junior.
For his Indiana career, Latimer had 135 catches for 2,042 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Latimer will join a number of other Indiana players to be on a Super Bowl roster.
Here are some of the others:
Tracy Porter returned an interception of Peyton Manning for a touchdown to help the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in Super Bowl 44 on Feb. 7, 2010, in Miami.
Courtney Roby was a returner on that Saints team and defensive back Herana-Daze Jones was also on that roster.
Tandon Doss was on the Ravens’ Super Bowl-winning team after the 2012 season.
Doss was on the field for nine offensive plays and two special teams plays but didn’t have any statistics as the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 on Feb. 3, 2013, in Super Bowl 47.
Antwaan Randle El played in multiple Super Bowls.
He had a memorable 43-yard touchdown pass with 8:56 to play that accounted for the final points as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in Super Bowl 40 on Feb. 5, 2006.
He was on the 2010 Steelers who fell to Green Bay 31-25. Randle El had two catches for 50 yards in Super Bowl 45.
Defensive end Adewale Ogunleye played for the 2006 Chicago Bears who fell to the Indianapolis Colts 29-17 on Feb. 4, 2007, in Super Bowl 41.
