A Beacon Falls man is one more fantasy football win away from going to the Super Bowl.

Federico Martinez, 19, is one of two finalists in Lenovo’s second annual Fantasy Coach of the Year contest. The other finalist is Scott Jordan, 48, of Nazareth, Pa.

Martinez and Jordan are currently in Arizona, the site of Super Bowl XLIX. They will help Pro Bowl team captains and NFL Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Cris Carter pick the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl squads Wednesday at 8 p.m. live on the NFL Network, according to a press release. The two will be consulting with Irvin and Carter in the greenroom. Martinez, a Woodland Regional High School graduate and Naugatuck Valley Community College student, will be working with Irvin to select his team.

They both will participate in their team’s first meeting following the draft Wednesday night and will attend practices on Saturday, the release stated.

On Sunday, the day of the Pro Bowl, Martinez and Jordan will each submit a nine-player fantasy team for the game. The winner will take home the Fantasy Coach of the Year trophy and be Lenovo’s special guest at Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1.
