Best players who never played in SB

TDs3nOut · Jan 23, 2014

NFL Network is about to air an episode of NFL's Top 10 in which they countdown the best players to have never reached the Super Bowl. Thought it might be interesting to compare their list with some players proposed by posters here. Seems to me that such a list should only include players who played during the SB era (i.e., after 1965). I'll start (and, hopefully, not end!) with a couple of guys from teams playing in this year's SB: Floyd Little and Steve Largent.

Barry Sanders would be at the top of my list.

Good call. I suspect he might top the list on TV.

Considering most think he was the best RB ever, or at least top 5...that's a safe bet.

If not, then others on that RB list might be the #1...Dickerson or Campbell.

LaDanian Tomlinson was the first guy I thought of.

Since the obvious ones have already mentioned, i'll go with Dan Fouts, Ozzy Newsome, Kellen Winslow, and Warren Moon.

Tony Gonzalez? Champ Bailey? They have the most Pro Bowls without a SB appearance. (Until next weekend.)

well, out of the names i've seen so far, Barry wins it easily

The first player that came to mind was Barry Sanders. The second one was Warren Moon...then Steve Largent.

I don't think Gale Sayers ever played in the SB.

Dan Marino

He played in a Super Bowl never won one. So he wouldn't qualify for this question.

This is the number one answer.

Calvin and Petersen are already approaching most of these names. Within a few years, they will definitely be top 10. It's a little early to be sure, but I have a hunch JJ Watt will eventually make this list as well.

Dick Butkus would be one.

O.J. Simpson.
