Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, Miami players have placed the most alumni on Super Bowl rosters.
With three Hurricanes players expected to see action in Atlanta, the total number of representatives from Miami will rise to 65. Next on the list are Tennessee and USC, who are tied with 63 players.
In the three years since the franchise has moved to Los Angeles, the Rams have stocked up on players who played out west, led by former No. 1 pick Jared Goff, who piloted Cal’s Air Raid offense under now SMU coach Sonny Dykes.
The Rams have plenty of Pac-12 flavor beyond Goff, including three players from Oregon State: wide receiver Brandin Cooks, punter Johnny Hekker and backup quarterback Sean Mannion. Cooks had eight catches for 108 yards in the NFC Championship Game against the Saints, while Hekker improbably produced the big play that got the Rams back in the game, completing a 12-yard pass on a fake punt that extended the drive that led to L.A.’s first points of the game after the Rams into a 13–0 hole. The Pac-12 North influences don’t stop in Corvallis: Cornerback Troy Hill and tight end Johnny Mundt went to Oregon, and cornerback Marcus Peters and linebacker Cory Littleton played at Washington.
USC will join the Beavers with three players representing the program in Atlanta, including wide receiver Robert Woods and cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman, the defensive back who benefited from the now-infamous pass interference no-call that kept the Rams’ hopes alive.
Adding to the Pacific Northwest flavor, three other Rams played at FCS power Eastern Washington. Injured wide receiver Cooper Kupp, linebacker Samson Ebukam and practice squad center Aaron Neary each played their college home games on the red turf in Cheney.
