As the Pittsburgh Steelers advance to Super Bowl XLV with Sunday's 24-19 win over the Jets, it means an Ole Miss Rebel will once again play on football's grandest stage. As I tweeted last night, Mike Wallace is set to make the 23rd appearance by a former Ole Miss player in the Super Bowl and first since Eli Manning guided the Giants to the crown in SB XLII. Below is the full list of Rebels that have been active on Super Bowl rosters (this does not include players from practice squads such as Jermey Parnell with New Orleans last year).
I Allen Brown, TE, Green Bay
