Trivia for February 3, 2024

Question

In the last 20 years, who is the only player who’s run for over 100 yards in a Super Bowl game who was also drafted by that franchise? (Marshawn Lynch, for example, is not the answer – he was drafted not by Seattle but Buffalo.)

Answer

Frank Gore. Gore ran for 110 yards for the 49ers team that lost against Baltimore 11 years ago. Other 100-yard rushers from the last 20 years: Damien Williams (undrafted), Dominic Rhodes (undrafted), Thomas Jones (drafted by Cardinals), Lynch. The games played 21, 23 and 25 years ago all included 100-yard rushers who were drafted by those teams: Michael Pittman, Jamal Lewis, Terrell Davis.

What Hall of Fame RB played in 3 Super Bowl games where he wasn't even the leading rusher in each game for his team. In those 3 games combined he had 37 carries for 69 yards for a 1.86 yards per attempt

Not Franco Csonka Faulk Dorsey or Riggins. Thinking on this one.

And I think I have it. Player (if I’m right) participated in one other Superb Owl.

Yeah same. Pretty short list of running backs who played in that many Super Bowls.

Superb Owl is tribute to those who write superbowl.
