Roland Williams , who played for SU from 1994-97, was interviewed on the Manchild Show, (AM 1260 in Syracuse), and Manchild asked me to look up how many SU players have Super Bowl rings.

The answer is in the Media Guide, on page 180:

1970 Super Bowl V John Mackey (TE) Baltimore Colts
1972 Super Bowl VII Larry Csonka (FB) Miami Dolphins
1973 Super Bowl VIII Larry Csonka (FB) * Miami Dolphins
1980 Super Bowl XV Keith Moody (DB) Oakland Raiders
1982 Super Bowl XVII Art Monk (WR) Washington Redskins
1986 Super Bowl XXI Joe Morris (RB) New York Giants
1987 Super Bowl XXII Art Monk (WR) Washington Redskins
1991 Super Bowl XXVI Art Monk (WR) Washington Redskins
1992 Super Bowl XXVII Daryl Johnston (FB) Dallas Cowboys
1993 Super Bowl XXVIII Daryl Johnston (FB) Dallas Cowboys
1994 Super Bowl XXIX Kevin Mitchell (LB) San Francisco 49ers
1995 Super Bowl XXX Daryl Johnston (FB) Dallas Cowboys
1998 Super Bowl XXXIII Melvin Tuten (OT) Denver Broncos
Roland Williams (TE) Denver Broncos
2000 Super Bowl XXXV Rob Burnett (DE) Baltimore Ravens
Qadry Ismail (WR/KR) Baltimore Ravens
2001 Super Bowl XXXVI Tebucky Jones (S) New England Patriots
2006 Super Bowl XLI Dwight Freeney (DE) Indianapolis Colts
Marvin Harrison (WR) Indianapolis Colts
Ryan LaCasse (DE/LB) Indianapolis Colts
Josh Thomas (DE) Indianapolis Colts
2007 Super Bowl XLII David Tyree (WR) New York Giants
2008 Super Bowl XLIII Anthony Smith (S) Pittsburgh Steelers
2012 Super Bowl XLVII Arthur Jones (DT) Baltimore Ravens
Jameel McClain (LB) Baltimore Ravens
2014 Super Bowl XLIX Chandler Jones (DE) New England Patriots
I count 21 different players with 26 rings.

These players have been on the losing side:
1968 Super Bowl III John Mackey (TE) Baltimore Colts
1971 Super Bowl VI Larry Csonka (FB) Miami Dolphins 1
1980 Ken Clarke (NT) Philadelphia Eagles
Stan Walters (OT) Philadelphia Eagles
1981 Super Bowl XVI Dave Lapham (OT) Cincinnati Bengals
1983 Super Bowl XVIII Art Monk (WR) Washington Redskins
1984 Super Bowl XIX Mike Charles (DT) Miami Dolphins
1989 Super Bowl XXIV Pat Kelly (TE) Denver Broncos
1996 Super Bowl XXXI Dave Wohlabaugh (C) New England Patriots
1997 Super Bowl XXXII Paul Frase (DL) Green Bay Packers
2004 Super Bowl XXXIX Donovan McNabb (QB) Eagles
2009 Super Bowl XLIV Dwight Freeney (DE) Indianapolis Colts
2016 Super Bowl LI Dwight Freeney (DE) Atlanta Falcons
That's 12 players, 4 of whom were also on the above list. Dwight's the only SU guy who has lost a Super Bowl twice.

That's 29 players who have played in the Super Bowl 39 times. We are 19-10 in Super Bowls with SU players on one side. Super Bowl 15 is the only one that had SU players on both sides.

Compare that to the SU basketball players who played in the NBA Finals:
Billy Gabor, Syracuse Nationals 1950 and 1954
Dennis DuVal, Baltimore Bullets 1975
Marty Byrnes, Los Angeles Lakers 1980
Only Marty got a ring. Dion Waiters got a ring for being on the 2020 Lakers, (he was also on the 2020 heat so he wo9uld have gotten a ring either way), but he was hurt and didn't actually play in the finals.

And I thought we were a basketball school. :confused:

How dare you leave out Sir Mawn Wilson, who has a ring with the Broncos.

It's easy to do when the Media Guide doesn't list him. Pro Football refernce.com doesn't either, although they have his college record. Wikipedia says he was on the 1997 Broncos but he's not on their pro football reference page. or their Wikipedia page.
 
He was one of the first ex players to bash P and I loved Roland for that

Otis Wilson started his care career at Syracuse, played on 85 Bears.
 
What a shame Gary Anderson never got a ring.
Like in Buffalo, who drafted him, but cut him. They might’ve been able to use him. Perhaps in Tampa/Jan. 1991. Oy vey.
 
No love for Tom Coughlin and Markus Paul??
 
Wasn’t Roland Williams on one of the St. Louis Rams championship teams?

I have no idea why I typed that Roland played for the Denver Broncos in 1998. His line should read:

1999 Super Bowl XXXIV Roland Williams (TE) St. Louis Rams
 
"Manchild asked me to look up how many SU players have Super Bowl rings."
they were SU players, but not NFL players at the time of their ring.

Point taken. My interpretation of what Manchild was asking how many SU players had played on winning Super Bowl teams.

I was trying to see how many SU players had played in the Super Bowl vs. how many played in the NBA Finals. Even with the larger teams, it 's amazing that the program with the lesser success does so much of a better job producing players that championship teams wanted.
