Editor’s note: Gilbert Manzano, SCNG’s NFL reporter, finally found the coffee station at Super Bowl radio row and he spotted several Hall of Famers and current NFL stars inside the Los Angeles Convention Center. Here’s what Manzano saw and heard from Day 3 of Super Bowl LVI week:

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Taylor, the NFL’s reigning rushing champion, flashed a smile when he saw Najee Harris being interviewed by Steve Smith Sr., the former NFL wide receiver and current NFL Network analyst.

Many people were happy to see Harris, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ standout rookie running back, while he made the media rounds at the Los Angeles Convention Center for Day 3 of Super Bowl radio row.

Harris shook hands and stopped to take pictures with fans before stepping into the media booths. Taylor, the Indianapolis Colts’ star running back, was just as busy and so were the many NFL stars roaming around the Convention Center on Wednesday morning.

The Chargers were well represented with quarterback Justin Herbert and running back Austin Ekeler in attendance. The Chargers’ duo had a photoshoot session in between interviews.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith and San Francisco 49ers star Deebo Samuel had their fair share of interviews. Samuel, who plays wide receiver and running back, told the NFL Network, which might have been his 50th interview of the day, that he would have had 1,000 receiving yards and 1,000 rushing yards if his hybrid role started from Week 1 this season.

The media tables under the colorful Super Bowl banners were at capacity by 11 a.m., a drastic change from the first two days of radio row. The Convention Center was filled with Pro Bowlers, but the Hall of Famers were just as popular, with several people tugging at them to join their respective shows.

THE LOCAL LEGEND

Hall of Fame offensive tackle Anthony Muñoz is the unofficial ambassador of Super Bowl LVI as a Cincinnati Bengals and USC legend.

Nearly every English and Spanish-language media outlet wanted to talk to Muñoz, a Mexican-American from Ontario and a product of Chaffey High School.

Muñoz made two Super Bowl appearances with the Bengals in the 1980s – both were losses to the San Francisco 49ers. The nine-time first-team All-Pro spent 13 of his 14 NFL seasons in Cincinnati, was selected to 11 Pro Bowls and was named NFL Man of the Year in 1991.

If you don’t know the name Anthony Muñoz, it’s the right time to learn about one of the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history. Judging from the way media members fought for his attention, it’s clear that his legacy remains strong.

Muñoz’s son, Michael, was by his side during his interviews on radio row.
