PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A South Jersey town has a personal stake in Super Bowl LVII. 

Isiah Pacheco is #10 on the Chiefs and also happens to be from Vineland. #10 will be suiting up for the big game this Sunday. 

Pacheco attended Vineland High School and went on to play football at Rutgers University. Kansas City drafted him in the seventh round. 

Pacheco says he's trying to soak everything in amidst all the excitement. 

"It happened so fast. It's a dream but for me to just work so hard at something that I do. And to finally be here, I had to soak it all in," Pacheco said. "I broke down the other night to my parents about it because it's so exciting and I'm so happy to be here."
