The history of the Super Bowl shows the best players tend to shine on the biggest stage.
That explains why the Times-Union’s Golden Anniversary Super Bowl team is loaded with Pro Football Hall of Fame members.
Of the 22 position players, only Miami safety Jake Scott isn’t in the Hall of Fame.
And on our team that consists of 25 players and one coach, only Scott, return specialist Desmond Howard and kicker Adam Vinatieri don’t have a bust in Canton. And as an active player, Vinatieri isn’t eligible.
The 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers, the only franchise to win four Super Bowls in a six-year period, have seven players and coach Chuck Noll on the team.
