Anybody that's willing to cut the tip of their pinkie finger off in order to not miss a game is going to make this list. Also, majority of the contributing members of the classic '80s San Francisco Super Bowl-winning teams most likely will be representing their home states as well, which is exactly why Ronnie Lott holds the throne for the state of New Mexico. The 6'0 defensiveback attended the University of Southern California as member of the Trojans and was drafted 8th overall in the 1981 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.
Lott was a major contributor to the 49ers championship runs as they took home the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowls XVI, XIX, XXIII, and XIV. On top of four rings, Lott was a 10x Pro Bowl selectee, 8x All-Pro First Team member, and 2x NFL interception leader (1986, 1991). Lott also played for NFL teams including the Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, and Kansas City Chiefs before retiring in 1995. All hail, one of the most-feared safeties ever, Ronnie Lott.
