Re: Paul Crane 2012 SEC's Legends Class

Bynes becomes the first Auburn Tiger from the 1957 or 2010 national championship squads to also claim a Super Bowl victory. He is just the 17th player nationally to win a BCS title, SEC championship and Super Bowl victory.

Now my question is, how many Bama players won the SEC, NAtional Championship and Superbowl? We had two just this year.
Everybody we've named. Unless this is limited to BCS.

Re: Paul Crane 2012 SEC's Legends Class

Depending upon whether or not you count freshmen who didn't play (but were on the team) on a National Championship team, we have either 14 or 15 that I can come up with:

Name (Played at Alabama) - Played in Super Bowls
1. Joe Namath (1962-64) - III
2. Ken Stabler (1965-67) - XI
3. Lee Roy Jordan (1960-62) - V, VI, X
4. Ray Perkins (1964-66) - III, V
5. Jeff Rutledge (1975-1978) - XIV, XXI, XXVI
6. Sherman Williams (1991-94) - XXX
7. Steve Wright (1962-64) - I
8. Derrick Lassic (1989-92) - XXVIII
9. Courtney Upshaw (2008-11) - XLVII
10. Terrence Cody (2008-09) - XLVII
11. Paul Crane (1963-65) - III
12. Wilbur Jackson (1971-73) - XVII
13. Curtis McGriff (1977-79) - XXI
14. Robbie Jones (1979-82) - XXI

Freshmen on NC Team:
15. Charley Hannah (1973 Fr., 1974-76) - XVIII


Also, of note, these National Championship winning Alabama players appeared in the Super Bowl but failed to get a ring:


Dwight Stephenson (1977-79) - XVII, XIX
Tony Nathan (1975-78) - XVII, XIX
Don McNeal (1977-79) - XVII, XIX
Dennis Homan (1965-67) - V
Brandon Deaderick (2006-09) - XLVI
Jeremiah Castille (1979-82) - XXI, XXII
Tommy Brooker (1959-61) - I
Bob Baumhower (1973 Fr., 1974-76) - XVII, XIX




If anyone can add any players that I missed to this list, please comment and I'll be sure to add them.


Edit: Robbie Jones is listed on the official roster for 1979, so I bumped him up to the top list. I also added some additional info on the players' years at Alabama and Super Bowl appearances, as well as a list of Alabama NC winners who played in the Super Bowl without winning one.
