NFL Trivia

I was thinking about Moss and Fitzgerald and Megatron and realized they all had something in common. 

(Make your trivia guesses now before moving on if you want.)

So I decided to look into a little more. 

Of all the all-time receiving yard leaders, 4 have Super Bowl rings: Rice, Bruce, Harrison and Wayne. 

6 do not: Fitz, Owens, Moss, Gonzalez, Brown, Smith. 

So then I thought I'd look at rushing yard leaders. Same thing, 4 have rings: Smith, Payton, Bettis, and Dorsett. 

6 do not: Gore, Sanders, Peterson, Martin, Tomlinson, and Dickerson. 

What about passing yard leaders? 7 have rings: Brees, Brady, Manning, Favre, Big Ben, Manning, Elway. 

3 don't: Rivers, Marino, Ryan. 

Marino and Ryan at least played in a Super Bowl. 

Conclusions? Pretty much what we already knew. QB is the most important position. If you have your choice of an all-time great, you're gonna want them at QB. And yes the Lions are famous for having Sanders and Megatron retire still in their prime, but there's plenty of all-time greats at RB and WR who never won a championship.
