Rounding out the team is tight end Jay Novacek, safety Jake Scott, linebacker Ray Lewis, return specialist Desmond Howard and the only current player and kicker Adam Vinatieri.
“The Super Bowl 50 Golden Team is an amazing list of incredible individuals,” said Pro Football Hall of Fame Executive Vice President Joe Horrigan. “Each name conjures up memories of some of the sport’s greatest games showcased on its biggest platform, the Super Bowl stage. Unforgettable individual performances like Lynn Swann’s acrobatic catches in Super Bowl X or Joe Montana’s come-from-behind game winning drive in Super Bowl XXIII are forever etched in the collective memories of football fans and celebrated as some of the most inspiring moments in the history of the National Football League.”
Eight members of the Pittsburgh Steelers were voted on the team, the most of any team.
