30 best NFL players to win a Super Bowl with 2 or more teams: 25. Earl Morrall

Stats:

  • 20,809 passing yards
  • 161 TDs
  • 51.3 completion percentage

The career of Earl Morrall was spent mostly on the bench. After all, he started less than half (102) of his 255 career games. But, there were times when Morrall appeared to be a franchise-level quarterback, somewhat.

Morrall’s Pro Bowl selection in 1957 was a head-scratcher. He led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a record of only 6-5, threw for just 1,900 yards and completed a pathetic 48.1 percent of his passes.

To make matters worse, Morrall connected on only 11 touchdown passes to 12 interceptions. Again, his selection to the team didn’t make sense but it is a feather in his cap regardless. His selection as a member of the Baltimore Ravens in 1968 made a ton more sense. He led them to a 13-1 record, threw for over 2,900 yards and led the league with 26 touchdowns.

A Super Bowl appearance in 1968 with the Ravens yielded better results two years later as they took home the Lombardi but Morrall rarely played. He would go on to win two more titles as a member of the Miami Dolphins where his primary duties were to wave the towel and hold the clipboard. Still, for a player who barely got on the field, Morrall had himself a decent career. Two Pro Bowls, two All-Pro selections and three rings. Not bad for a journeyman.
