Tedy Bruschi - First player to play in 5 SB's with the same team?
 
Just as the title says, is Bruschi the first player in NFL history to play in 5 Super Bowl's with the same team?

The only team I can think of that would have a chance would be the SF 49ers who went to 5 Superbowls from 1982 to 1995. Did any players survive on the roster for that many years?

Anyone with good internet search skills your help is needed!

Rice wasn't on the early 49er team, I don't think.

Rice definitely was not on the 82 team, he was draftd in 83.

Troy Brown was injured and did not play in the 96 Superbowl and is a big reason we lost because he was BY FARRR our best special teams player that season. I would like to think that Desmond Howard would not have been the MVP that day if Troy were healthy.

Adam V? He was on the 96 team, all 3 SB wins, and the Colts SB.

Looking over the Pats 96 roster Bruschi looks like the only player left on the team from that year.

Charles Haley was on both the 49ers and the Cowboys in the 90s.

From the article linked above which provides your answer.

X. Patriots LB Tedy Bruschi will be playing in his fifth Super Bowl; he is the 15th player to play in five Super Bowls. He is the seventh player to play in five Super Bowls with the same team, joining Larry Cole (Cowboys), Cliff Harris (Cowboys), D.D. Lewis (Cowboys) Charlie Waters (Cowboys), Rayfield Wright (Cowboys) and John Elway (Broncos).
