Football season officially came to a close on Sunday night in a 29-13 Super Bowl victory for the Seattle Seahawks, and as it turns out, a few former Alabama and Auburn players will now be blinged out with Super Bowl rings.
A total of six players are repping the state of Alabama with their Super Bowl win, the most prominent name was former Tigers pass rusher Derick Hall, who had an absolutely massive game with two sacks and a forced fumble that effectively put things on ice in the second half.
Beyond Hall, former Alabama cornerback Josh Jobe had a big night in the secondary with six tackles and completely shutting down the opposition, holding New England below 100 total yards as an offense headed into the fourth quarter. Crimson Tide former defensive lineman Jarran Reed added two tackles of his own as well.
Nehemiah Pritchett — a Jackson native who played at Auburn — rotated in on special teams but was a key piece of the team this season.
Robbie Ouzts, who played tight end at Alabama but has moved to fullback, was inactive for the game but played in numerous contests for the team this year, and his quarterback Jalen Milroe was their third string this year as well.
It’s safe to say the state of Alabama had a ton to be proud of on Sunday night.
