5 active NFL players you didn't know won a Super Bowl
The Super Bowl in the NFL is usually comprised of the elites of the game facing off to battle in a clash for the ages. We’ve seen such stars as Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady lead their teams to success in the big game in recent times, but for all the flashy stars on show, every member of the winning team has earned their ring.
Many players across the league find themselves as a backup with a winning franchise, before establishing themselves in the league as the years go by.
Here are five active NFL players you didn’t know won a Super Bowl.
Active NFL players you didn’t know won a Super Bowl
#5 - Rasul Douglas
Cornerback Rasul Douglas became a solid starter in the NFL in 2021 with the Green Bay Packers, claiming five interceptions and returning two for pick-sixes, a league high. However, prior to this season, Douglas has bounced around the league, spending time on the practice squads of the Las Vegas Raiders, Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals.
It was prior to this when Douglas won his Super Bowl ring, however. He was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, and during his rookie year was part of the squad that took down Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to win Super Bowl LII.
#4 - Blaine Gabbert
Blaine Gabbert will go down as one of the biggest draft busts in league history after being drafted 10th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2010. Despite this, and despite bouncing around the league after leaving Jacksonville in 2013, Gabbert still has a Super Bowl ring.
Larry Fitzgerald: "Do NOT draft Blaine Gabbert". #baha
He was part of the 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl LV winning squad, where Gabbert was a backup quarterback to Tom Brady. Since joining the Buccaneers, Gabbert hasn’t actually started a game, only passing for two touchdowns, but he still has a Super Bowl title to his name.
