Longhorns With Superbowl Rings

[bevo_daddy]

Thought about this the other day so decided to research it. Let me know if I missed anyone.

Keep in mind, I believe these are start of year rosters so any midseason trades may not be reflected on this list, but I dont think it would be any different

Casey Hampton - 2006 - Pittsburgh Steelers
Priest Holmes - 2000 - Baltimore Ravens
Taje Allen - 1999 - St. Louis Rams
Dan Neil - 1997, 1998 - Denver Broncos
Terry Orr - 1987, 1991 - Washington Redskins
Raul Allegre - 1986, 1990 - New York Giants
Terry Tausch - 1989 - San Francisco 49ers
David Jones - 1987 - Washington Redskins
Steve McMichael - 1985 - Chicago Bears
Ricky Churchman - 1981 - San Francisco 49ers
Don Talbert - 1971 - Dallas Cowboys

I think this is one category we really do not represent well in. There are other schools (in this state) that have a much better showing.

And good luck to Aaron Ross, hope he gets his ring this year!

David Thomas is on the Patriots. A Longhorn will get a ring regardless of the outcome.

 

[Sec39Row7]

Either way, we'll add one this year. David Thomas in on the PUP for the Pats, but I'm pretty sure he'll get one if they win.

 

[Win]

Curtis Jackson was on the practice squad with the Patriots when they beat the Rams.

This was Curis Jackson from Plano that was first a RB and then moved to WR in the mid '90's.

George Sauer... Namath's favorite target in SB III

 

[Extra Large]

John Elliot, Jim Hudson, Pete Lammons, and George Sauer got rings with the Jets.

Ricky Churchman with the 1982 49ers.

Steve McMichael and Bill Heathcock with the Bears in 1986.

Terry Orr won 2 rings as a tight end for the Redskins, 1988 and 1992.

Terry Tausch also got a ring as an O-lineman with the 49ers in 1990.

its hard to get a ring when you enter the draft at the top of the list and have to play your first years for a bad team.

Tom Landry.

I think Johnny Johnson played for the Rams Vs. the Steelers.

 

[cinchhorn]

[1899horn]

Raul Allegre is the only longhorn to score points in the super bowl.

 

[Handler XIII]

Tex Schramm

 

[Bevoette]

Dave Thomas says he wants his ring.

Did Bobby Micho get a ring from '87? he was w/the Broncos but I can't recall if they won or not.

 

[cochamps]

they lost

 

[HoustonHorn93]

Somebody got out the huge old school press guide (pre-2005 models) and found the list.

 

[ptownhorn]

Could Aaron Ross be the first horn with a National Championship and a Superbowl victory?

 

[Handler XIII]

Or DT

 

[jonclas]

[Seal Team 4]

John Elliot, Jim Hudson, Pete Lammons, George Sauer all on 69 Jets, Ricky Churchman '82 49ers, Heathcock, McMichael-86 Bears, Allegre-87 Giants, Terry Orr-88 Redskins, 92-Redskins, Terry Tausch-'90 49ers, Dan Neil, 98-99 Broncos, Taje Allen, Derek Lewis(practice squad)-2000 Rams, Priest, 2001 Ravens, Hampton-2006 Steelers.

Sorry for the duplicates, couldn't remember who had already been mentioned so I just posted them all.

 

[p_town_horn]

If the Lions or Titans win in the next few years this list explodes with new names. So it looks like the list will remain pretty much the same.

Edit: Add my boy Aaron Ross to that list! Starting Rookie Superbowl champ!
