Super Bowl 59 Referees Bring Expertise from Diverse Careers to NFL's Biggest Stage

The officiating crew for the Chiefs vs. Eagles matchup includes seasoned veterans and first-time officials, many of whom have notable careers outside football.

Ron Torbert, an attorney and experienced NFL referee, will lead the officiating crew for his second Super Bowl appearance.
The crew features a mix of veterans like Boris Cheek, officiating his fourth Super Bowl, and first-timers such as Mike Morton, a former NFL player turned dentist.

Many officials maintain full-time careers outside of football, including roles as financial advisors, engineers, and military specialists.
Super Bowl referees receive additional compensation for the game, though exact figures remain undisclosed; past reports suggest bonuses between $30,000 and $50,000.
