Let us pause for a moment of appreciation. Reggie White, you were taken from us too soon.

Alvin Harper should be on this list as well over G. Wilson.

Yes! There are so many players who should be above Gibril Wilson on this list, it's weird that they thought of him.

I would have put Deon Grant (NY Giants Super Bowl 46) ahead of him too... He had 4 tackles and broke up a pass on 3rd down.

Also, on the most famous run in Super Bowl history - Marcus Allen's 74 yard run in Super Bowl 18 vs the Redskins where he reverses his field and cuts back through the line, OG Mickey Marvin (former Vol) throws a great block on a Redskin DT named Daryl Grant. Mickey Marvin was a starter on two Raiders teams that won Super Bowls 15 and 18.

If I was a Bama fan, this list would seem pretty funny. They omitted so many great Tide players it's crazy (Lee Roy Jordan, anybody?)

Even Malik Jackson last year would have been a better option...

About most Bama fans, they aren't able to read the list anyways and many of them (the bandwagon ones) completely ignore from 1992-2007 (I've had more than 1 "Bama fan" who has told me that Nick Saban replaced Bear Bryant as coach).

Thanks for posting that list! I didn't know Bill Anderson had a Super Bowl ring. He never talked about it on the air.

Met the man at a church in Phoenix; he was encouraging underprivileged youth at an event I was working at. Shaking his hand was like sticking your hand in a crock-pot. My hand completely disappeared. Great man; great gentleman; great father; great example.

Ohio St, that's right. Not sure what I was thinking... Still, Alabama was shorted here.... Lee Roy Jordan of the Cowboys, Cornelius Bennett (4 Super Bowl appearances - losses but still)

Yes sir, pretty sure Alvin Harper had a TD of over 40 yards and dunked the football over the goalpost. Malik Jackson scored a TD on a fumble recovery, so both of those guys should be ahead Gibril Wilson. Although, I don't want to seem like I am trying to steal his thunder. GW had a nice career and was a winner

Oh yeah, since I wasn't sure, I looked up Jamal Lewis' stats in the Super Bowl against the Giants. Lewis had 103 yards and 1 TD, so he should probably be in the top 20, also

Robert Meachem was another Vol left off the list - although I am not sure of his SB stats the year he won

BTW, while checking Jamal's Super Bowl stats, I was amazed at what a great career he had in the NFL. 10,607 career yards,the single game record for most yards in one game(at the time), over 2000 yards in 2003, the 2nd most in one season in the history of the NFL. Of course, I knew all this. But what I didn't know, was that he did this in only 9 seasons. I 4got he had to sit out his 2nd season. Most at VN, will remember why. So, my question is: Why wasn't he a 1st ballot hall of famer ? Should he not be in the NFL Hall of Fame, by now ? If not, do u all think he will be voted into the NFL Hall of Fame ?

Al Wilson won a Super Bowl his rookie year, right? I know he wasn't much of a contributor for the Broncos that year, but he was a first team All-American his senior year.

Terrel Davis just got into the Hall of Fame. If TD is a HoF, then Jamal Lewis should be a lock to get in
