    On Sunday, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Bryce Perkins will become the latest in a long line of former Cavaliers to represent Virginia in the Super Bowl. 

    54 previous times in NFL history, a UVA football alum has made an appearance in the Super Bowl or has been on the roster of one of the Super Bowl teams. It will also be the eighth consecutive Super Bowl in which one of the participating teams has a former Virginia football player on the roster.

    If the Los Angeles Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI, Bryce Perkins will be the 20th UVA alum to become a Super Bowl Champion.
