Alabama is the leader among all colleges with active players in the NFL. For that reason, it’s not a surprise to hear that both teams participating in Super Bowl LVIII have former Crimson Tide players within their organization.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will square off for the title, which means one Alabama alum is guaranteed a Super Bowl ring. However, it comes with an interesting twist.
The two former Tide players who could win a ring are defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs of the Chiefs and tight end Cameron Latu of the 49ers.
The previously mentioned twist is that neither of them will be playing in the game.
Buggs is on the Chiefs’ practice squad and Latu suffered a leg injury in late August and was placed on the injured reserve.
Technically speaking, there won’t be any former Alabama players playing in the Super Bowl, but one will get a ring.
