Every Nittany Lion Who Has Reached the Super Bowl

Former Penn State players have won 63 Super Bowl rings, with Tampa Bay's Chris Godwin, Donovan Smith and A.Q. Shipley joining the list.

Penn State added three Super Bowl rings to its alumni total Sunday, when Tampa Bay beat Kansas City 31-9 in Super Bowl LV.

The Buccaneers' Chris Godwin, Donovan Smith and A.Q. Shipley (injured reserve) won their first Super Bowl rings, bringing Penn State's all-time total to 63. Stefen Wisniewski represented Penn State on the Kansas City roster, seeing to win his third ring in four years.

Penn State has a pretty strong Super Bowl history. Former Lions have played in 50 of the 55 championship games and have made more than 110 appearances. Further, according to Ryan Nanni of the Banner Society site, Penn State ranks second to Miami in Super Bowl points scored.
