I'm not sure if a player has to play in the Super Bowl or only be a member of a team, but QB Gale Gilbert was a member of five consecutive Super Bowl teams: Buffalo '90-'93 and San Diego '94. Gale Gilbert: Bills 4 Super Bowls in a row, followed by the Chargers in XXIX. He was a "member" o...

II & III: Both winning QBs played at the University of Alabama. I wish you had listed the teams. Its hard enough to translate these Roman numerals, much less remember who played, especially for us old farts. Yes you are correct - consecutive MVP's from same college. I will add the teams to the ...
