What do Jerry Rice, Wes Welker, Deion Branch, and Shane Vereen have in common?

[goheels22002]

They share the record for second most receptions in a Super Bowl with 11. Dan Ross of the Bengals also caught 11 passes. Three of the five share the record as New England Patriots. Demaryius Thomas holds the record with 13 in SB48.

What does Wes Welker and myself have in common? We both have the same amount of super bowl rings.

I have fewer drops in the SB than Wes Welker.

D. Thomas broke the record last year I believe.

Thank you. Fixed in OP.

Does Branch still hold a record with 21 catches in 2 Super Bowls? I think so.

There's also the niche record of Super Bowl TD catches in consecutive calendar years -- Vrabel and Givens share that one. Last I looked, Givens was also second to Rice for consecutive postseason games with a TD catch.

It's a pity Givens' career blew out so fast. Still, pretty much every football-playing kid in America would be delighted to learn he would have an NFL career exactly like Givens'.
