I've been trying to think who the last white safety(NOT INCLUDING JOHN LYNCH) to start in a Super Bowl was? I cannot recall the last guy before Lynch to do so. Any one know?
Right you are, Don. Archuleta is listed as a starter. John Lynch was actually in the Super Bowl the very next year with the Buccaneers.Edited by: PhillyBirds
Mark Kelso was the usual starter at free safety for the Bills in the early nineties. I think he started most of their superbowl appearances. He used to get a lot of flack from some TV pundits for a lack of athleticism and lack of hard hitting, but in my opinion he was a sure tackler, a good cover guy and had a knack for interceptions. He actually wasn't that fast in the open field. He was a 10th round draft pick that started for about seven or eight seasions in the NFL and went to four superbowls. Not bad.
