A Look at the 14 Former OSU Cowboys to Win Super Bowls

For the first time since 2016, a former Oklahoma State football player has a chance to hold the Lombardi trophy. Cornerback Ramon Richards will take the field with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday to face off against New England in Super Bowl LIII.

Richards is hoping to join a list of 14 other former Pokes in earning a Super Bowl ring. Before we stuff our faces with nachos and drink more beer that we probably should on a night we have to work the next day, let’s reminisce on some Oklahoma State players that have Super Bowl rings.

* List is in Alphabetical order *

Bajema got his ring in the 2013 Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in a win over the San Francisco 49ers. Bajema saw action in eight games that season but didn’t record a stat.

Manley went to three different Super Bowls with the Washington Redskins in 1983, 1984 and 1988. Washington won two of those, first in ‘83 over the Dolphins then in ‘88 over the Broncos.

Ryan McBean (DL):

McBean was on the same Ravens team as Billy Bajema that won the 2013 Super Bowl. This was a Ravens defense that featured Ray Lewis.
