On Sunday night, DeVonta Smith, a wide receiver for the Eagles, made history by catching a touchdown pass, marking his entry into an exclusive group of players from Alabama who have scored in the Super Bowl. This achievement also makes him the fifth player in a prestigious lineup.
Before Smith’s remarkable feat, only four athletes had accomplished the rare trifecta of winning a Heisman Trophy, securing a national championship, and earning a Super Bowl ring. Now, Smith proudly stands as the fifth member of this elite circle.
The notable figures who joined him in this remarkable club include running back Reggie Bush, cornerback Charles Woodson, running back Marcus Allen, and running back Tony Dorsett.
Additionally, four current NFL players are on the brink of joining this exclusive group. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Ravens running back Derrick Henry, Browns quarterback Jameis Winston, and Panthers quarterback Bryce Young each need just one more victory in the Super Bowl to make their mark.
