Super Bowl Sunday is finally here! And in honor of the biggest game of the year, it’s time to remember the WVU football alumni who will forever be called Super Bowl champions. These players went from West Virginia to the pinnacle of the sport at some point in their careers.

This is list is a mix of Pro Bowlers, backups given an opportunity on the biggest stage, those lucky to just be along for the championship ride and even a Pro Football Hall of Famer.
