The SEC's all-time all-Super Bowl team

You’ve got to be pretty super to make the cut.

Sorry. I’ll show myself out.

In the history of Super Bowls, which now spans more than half a century, countless former SEC stars got to shine on the sport’s biggest stage. Which ones were best, you ask? Well, let’s decide that.

First, a disclaimer: We’re only basing the SEC’s all-time all-Super Bowl team on how players performed on that specific stage. This is not a list of “best former SEC players who have played in a Super Bowl.”

Also, we’ll only be including guys who actually played in the SEC. So stars like Von Miller, who went to Texas A&M, aren’t eligible for this list because the conference can’t claim him. Or at least it shouldn’t.

With that, here’s the all-time all-SEC Super Bowl team:

The guy beat Tom Brady twice in Super Bowls. That’s more impressive than his brother, Peyton, who you might’ve heard of. It’s also more impressive than Bart Starr, who won the first 2 Super Bowls by completing a combined 29 passes. Manning threw the David Tyree pass that ranks as one of the best plays in NFL history. That’s worthy of the SEC QB nod.

You could make a case for Terrell Davis, who was instrumental in the Broncos finally getting John Elway a Super Bowl, but Smith ranks No. 1 in Super Bowl career rushing touchdowns (5) and he’s No. 3 in Super Bowl career rushing yards (289). The former Gator might not have had an individual game quite like Davis did with his record-setting 3-touchdown showing in Super Bowl XXXII, but his cumulative body of work was slightly more impressive.

Fun fact: At the time of Gault’s 129-yard day in the Chicago Bears’ beatdown of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX, it was 4th all-time for receiving yards in a Super Bowl.

Other fun fact: Ward is the SEC’s lone non-quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP honors in the 21st century, which he earned by hauling in one of the best trick plays in the game’s history on a 41-yard throw from former college quarterback Antwaan Randle El in Super Bowl XL.

We’re going strictly based on on-field performance here. Hernandez is the only SEC tight end ever to be his team’s leading receiver in a Super Bowl. Granted, it came in a loss to the Giants in XLVI, but his 67 yards and a score kept the Patriots within striking distance.

Quietly, Andrews has turned into one of the SEC’s best undrafted players of the 21st century. He helped protect Tom Brady in 3 Super Bowls. The Patriots won 2 of those and, even though they lost 1 to the Eagles, they set a Super Bowl record with 613 yards of offense.

Whitworth might not have delivered the single-best showing from a former SEC offensive tackle, but come on. The guy is the oldest offensive tackle to ever play in the Super Bowl at age 40 and the oldest offensive lineman to even appear in one.

Starks protected a young Ben Roethlisberger in 2 Super Bowl victories, both at left tackle and right tackle. If Starks’ block doesn’t hold, Pittsburgh can’t execute the key end-around pass from Antwaan Randle El to the aforementioned Ward for the dagger 41-yard touchdown.

McKenzie won 2 Super Bowls with Washington, including a beatdown of the Broncos wherein the then-Redskins ran for 280 yards on 7 yards per carry. That helped pave the way for Timmy Smith, who still holds the single-game Super Bowl rushing record with 204 yards on the ground.

The second-best single-game rushing performance in Super Bowl history was by Marcus Allen, who ran for 191 yards thanks to the holes created from Hannah at left guard.

The “Minister of defense” tied a Super Bowl record with 3 sacks, including the game-ender in Super Bowl XXXI.

Ealy went on to tie that record with 3 sacks in Super Bowl 50, and he also added an interception and a forced fumble, but didn’t take home MVP honors because he was on the losing team.

Jones, who is set to play in his 3rd Super Bowl, forced an interception on a pressure and he tipped 3 passes at the line of scrimmage to help the Chiefs to a win in Super Bowl LIV.

Not a whole lot of defensive linemen get to celebrate a Super Bowl touchdown, but Jackson did when Von Miller (ineligible from this list because he never played in the SEC) forced a fumble of Cam Newton that Jackson recovered in the end zone to help the Broncos to a Super Bowl 50 victory. That’s still the lone SEC defensive touchdown that’s ever been scored in the Super Bowl.

It helps that Hightower has 3 rings, sure, but it also helps that he played a significant part in helping the Patriots’ dynasty in the 2010s. The former Alabama star had a monumental strip sack of Matt Ryan that helped New England overcome a 28-3 deficit to win Super Bowl LI in overtime, and he had 2 sacks in a Super Bowl LIII victory.

White might’ve only played in 1 Super Bowl, but he made it count with 12 tackles, 2 TFLs and a game-sealing interception of Patrick Mahomes to lift the Bucs.

Trevathan played in 2 Super Bowls for the Broncos, one of which was a blowout loss in which he had a team-high 12 tackles and the other was a victory in which he had another team-high in tackles (8) while recovering a fumble.

Gilmore played in 2 Super Bowls, albeit with mixed results. The former South Carolina star was part of the Patriots’ surprising 41-33 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, but a year later, he picked off Jared Goff late to help New England close a 13-3 defensive struggle.

Scott was a turnover-forcing machine. The former Dawg had a 2-interception game en route to Super Bowl VII MVP honors to cap off Miami’s undefeated season, and a year later, his 2 fumble recoveries fueled a repeat victory.

Webster won 2 Super Bowls with the Giants, the first of which saw him contain one of the best passing attacks in NFL history (his lone mistake that game was falling down on a Randy Moss touchdown).

Stewart was a menace in Super Bowl 50. In addition to helping hold Cam Newton to 44% passing, the former Gamecock had a sack and a forced fumble, which was recovered by the aforementioned Trevathan.

Yeah, he might’ve been the kicker in a couple of blowout wins to kick off the Super Bowl era (see what I did there), but the guy is still tied for the single-game record with 4 field goals. That game alone has him tied for 4th all-time in Super Bowl career field goals made.

In a game that was all about field position, Colquitt deserved MVP consideration in Super Bowl 50. Just kidding. He did have an average of 46 yards with 2 kicks inside the 20, one of which set up the aforementioned Malik Jackson fumble recovery in the end zone for the Broncos.

As much as it’s frustrating to look back on Harvin’s career and what could’ve been, he holds a very distinctive title. He’s the only SEC player to return a kickoff for a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Harvin took the opening kick of the second half back in Super Bowl XLVIII to stretch Seattle’s lead to 29-0 over Denver and quash any hope of a Broncos comeback. Harvin will always have that.

Bench clearing scrum ends Kingstree-Manning football game early as tensions boiled over

A bench-clearing scrum between Kingstree and Manning high schools ended the first game of the Blazer era with 64 seconds left on the clock when a chippy game continued to escalate.

The officials decided to end the game there as to not risk things getting worse with the result seemingly cemented, a 28-16 win for the visiting Monarchs.

The scrum occurred on the ensuing kickoff after the Monarchs scored to go up 12 late in the fourth quarter.

“A lot of cheap shots by the other team. Guy takes his helmet off throws it at our player, punches our player. [The Manning player] should have been kicked out, should have been a penalty on them,” Kingstree head coach Brian Smith said of what he though led up to the scrum. “Referees blew the call. I’m gonna send it into the High School League and see what they say. But the High School League will be hearing from us.”

Smith was referencing a player that occurred on Manning’s previous drive. On the far sideline, a Monarch and Kingstree’s Amond Myers got tangled up with Myers ending up on the ground. The dustup appeared to be one-sided and after the play.

Instead of just Manning getting penalized, Kingstree was given an unsportsmanlike call to, and crucially, the officials ruled it was during the play. Instead of offsetting penalties resulting in a 3rd down and long situation for the Monarchs, they were given a first down before the ball was moved 15 yard back with the Blazers desperate for a stop with less than 5 minutes to go.

Manning would score their game-sealing touchdown a few plays later.

“They claim he took the guy’s helmet off, which isn’t true. That guy took his own helmet off and threw it at Amond and punched him. So, again, I’ll be sending it to the High School League. We’ll see what the High School League says. But unfortunately, our kids suffer because of it.”

Smith, a former linebacker at The Citadel, said he had never been part of a game that ended early due to a scrum. Smith said that tension had been building throughout the game as a result of Manning being unable to handle the physicality Kingstree was bringing to the table. While Smith told his team he was proud of them, he told them that post-whistle scrums weren’t what they were about.

“I told them ‘we don’t get involved in those things at the end, let that other team be what they are,”’ Smith said. ‘“But we don’t. That’s not what we’re going to be about.”’

For the game itself, Kingstree found themselves in a 12-point deficit at halftime.

Manning went up for good on a 12-yard run midway through the second quarter. The Monarchs had a short field to start the drive after Kingstree had a bad snap on a punt attempt. After some unsuccessful drives by both teams, Manning was able to land a big blow by scoring their third touchdown with just 22 seconds left in the half, knowing they would start with the ball in the second half.

It would take until the fourth quarter for the score to change.

After failing on a 4th and goal, the Blazers got a badly needed safety to cut it to a 20-12 game after just 13 seconds into the final frame.

Then, disaster struck the Blazers with another questionable call.

With the Blazers driving and with a chance to make it a one possession game, Nic Brown caught a pass and appeared to be tackled just before scoring. The ball squirted loose and was recovered in the endzone by Manning for a touchback.

“I thought we out played them thought. If things were called fairly tonight we would have beaten them plain and simple and I don’t say that often,” Smith said. “I’m usually a straight up guy. But they stole one from us here tonight.”

The Blazers would get that touchdown on the board when Admond Myers took the ensuing punt back 40 yards to the endzone with 5:21 left. However, the Blazers wouldn’t see the ball again.

The Blazers took an early 8-0 lead when Khamis Wilson made a good catch and beat several defenders to the endzone. Manning would go on to score 20 unanswered points, enough for them to take the game.

Next week, the Blazers will travel to face Aynor, still looking for their first win of the new era.

“I’m proud of them,” Smith said. “They played a great game and we will be a great team in the end.”

The groundbreaking celebrates an addition to the HopeHealth in Manning building, consisting of 12,566 square feet connecting the two existing on-site buildings.

Florence, SC - McLeod Health has been awarded full certification to the ISO 9001 Quality Management System by DNV.

“McLeod Health is dedicated to providing the safest and most effective healthcare services possible,” said Madge Hamer, Associate Vice President of Accreditation and Certification for McLeod. “ISO 9001 certification not only reflects that mission but helps to empower it. The effort required to achieve this certification fundamentally transforms the way we do business – it gets everyone on the same page and helps us achieve our objectives.”

ISO 9001 is the most widely accepted quality management system in use around the world and is quickly gaining acceptance among U.S. healthcare providers as a foundation for their quality and patient safety programs.

“McLeod Health has worked hard to achieve this certification, and they have done so with unwavering commitment from their top leadership to make their organization the best it can be,” said Kelly Proctor, President of DNV Healthcare USA Inc. “ISO 9001 certification isn’t just an award or trophy for something you’ve done, it’s public evidence that you are at the top of your game with an obvious plan in place to make excellence an every day objective.”

ISO 9001 brings science to the art of caregiving; it helps to standardize processes around things that are proven to work, by the people doing the work, thus empowering frontline workers while creating an environment of predictability for the entire organization. The ultimate impact of ISO 9001 within hospitals is the reduction or elimination of variation, so that critical work processes are done consistently, and the “best ideas” aren’t held by one person or one department but are ingrained in the organization itself.

Businesses that implement ISO 9001 do so for both the internal and external benefits. Internally it helps staff create clear and consistent processes of patient care and ensure that progress is constantly being made toward specific quality objectives. Externally, it tells the public, as well as insurers and regulatory agencies, that the hospital is not only talking about quality, but is pursuing it with discipline and transparency.

Johnson, House District 64, Mayor Julia Nelson, Community Leaders of Clarendon County, South Carolina Community and Provalus President Laura Chevalier as well as Provalus Vice President of Facilities, Will Ruzic.

WHERE: 34 N. Brooke Street, Manning, SC 29102

Provalus, the managed services brand of Optomi Professional Services, will celebrate the opening of its third technology innovation center in Manning, South Carolina on August 18th with a ribbon cutting ceremony. After two years in a temporary space, the team is grateful for the collaboration and hard work to secure a permanent location in Manning. The downtown facility will provide new business and technology jobs to Clarendon County.

The Central SC Alliance members, Manning Mayor Julia A. Nelson and state and community officials will be recognized for their support of the project, which is projected to have a multi-million dollar economic impact on the local community over the next five years.

The proximity of this technology innovation center to the Optomi Professional Services office in Charlotte, NC increases opportunity for Provalus to provide outsourced managed services to the robust client base of the area. Provalus specializes in Professional Services including Business Process Optimization, Infrastructure Operations (HD, IAM, NOC, SOC) and Application & ITO Support.

Provalus is elevating under-employed individuals by providing technology, business and support positions to undiscovered talent in the U.S. By up-skilling local American talent, Provalus is able to provide Fortune-listed companies with the dependable, quality, and practical services they need.

"The opening of our newest technology center in Manning is the next step in our ongoing mission to bring jobs back to the U.S., especially to rural areas," says Laura Chevalier, President of Provalus. "We want to thank all involved for facilitating the process of making this facility a reality in Manning. The revitalization of this 1919 building is a great step toward rejuvenating the business in town. The local economic growth will be substantial. We believe services that have been traditionally outsourced overseas can be delivered better right here from the U.S. Manning is an ideal town for us to achieve this goal. We look forward to working with the Clarendon County community to develop and employ local individuals to deliver IT solutions."

For its new technology innovation center in downtown Manning, Provalus has renovated the Belk Building, a two-story red brick building built in 1919 that was the first shopping mall in Clarendon County. Located at 34 N. Brooke Street, the previously vacant building is the largest storefront in the main business section of downtown Manning and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Provalus already employs dozens of people in Manning. Individuals interested in joining the Provalus team should visit provalus.com/apply.

ABOUT THE PROVALUS BRAND OF OPTOMI PROFESSIONAL SERVICES:

Shane Steichen's first coaching staff in Indianapolis is complete.

The Colts on Tuesday announced their 2023 coaching staff, which includes eight newcomers and several returning coaches.

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, defensive line coach Nate Ollie, assistant defensive line coach Matt Raich, linebackers coach/run game coordinator Richard Smith, assistant linebackers coach Cato June, defensive backs coach Ron Milus and assistant defensive backs coach Mike Mitchell all return from 2022; Brent Jackson, the Colts' 2022 Tony Dungy Defensive Coaching Fellow, was elevated to defensive quality control assistant in 2023. Smith will add run game coordinator to his title in 2023.

"I have a ton of respect for Gus," Steichen said. "I spent four years with him (with the Los Angeles Chargers, 2017-2020), just the person he is, the leader he is. Nothing but phenomenal things to say about Gus. I'm very fortunate to have him still in the building and then obviously the rest of the staff that's in place."

Also returning are wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne, offensive quality control - wide receivers Brian Bratton and assistant special teams coach Joe Hastings, as well as head strength and conditioning coach Richard Howell, strength and conditioning assistant Zane Fakes, director of sports performance Rusty Jones, applied sports science/conditioning Doug McKenney and functional movement therapist/conditioning Sam Khym.

The Colts will additionally hire two Tony Dungy Diversity Fellows for the 2023 season, to be announced at a later date.

New to the Colts' coaching staff in 2023 are the following coaches:

Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter

Cooter joins the Colts after spending 2022 as the Jacksonville Jaguars' pass game coordinator, where he had a hand in Trevor Lawrence's breakout sophomore season (4,113 yards, 25 touchdowns/8 interceptions, 95.2 passer rating) as well as a career year from wide receiver Christian Kirk (84 receptions, 1,108 yards, 8 touchdowns). The AFC South champion Jaguars also had the No. 10 scoring offense in the NFL (23.8 points/game).

Prior to joining the Jaguars, Cooter overlapped with Steichen as a consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. He also has served as the New York Jets' running backs coach (2019-2020), the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator (2016-2018) and the Lions' quarterbacks coach (2014-2015).

Cooter broke into the NFL as an offensive quality control coach with the Colts in 2009, a role he held under head coach Jim Caldwell – and alongside quarterback Peyton Manning – through the 2011 season. Cooter was an offensive quality control coach with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012 before re-uniting with Manning as an offensive assistant for the Denver Broncos in 2013.

"Obviously, Jim Bob has had a lot of success in this league," Steichen said last week at the NFL Combine. "Obviously, he started in the league being around Peyton Manning for awhile, and then he had success with (Matthew) Stafford at Detroit and then this previous year with Lawrence in Jacksonville. So his expertise with the quarterback, the way he sees the game, the preparation he puts into it. I got to spend a year with him in 2021 at Philly and really get to know him as a person, see how he saw the game. That's where we created that relationship, and I have no doubt in my mind that he's gonna do a phenomenal job."

Special teams coordinator Brian Mason

Mason, a Zionsville, Ind. native, comes home after serving as Notre Dame's special teams coordinator in 2022. Under Mason, the Irish blocked a school record seven punts, including a streak of five games with at least one blocked punt. Mason's special teams unit also executed a fake punt that sparked Notre Dame's Gator Bowl win over South Carolina. He was a semifinalist in 2022 for the Broyles Award, which is given annually to college football's top assistant coach.

Mason was the University of Cincinnati's special teams coordinator from 2018-2021. He also spent time as Cincinnati's director of recruiting (2017) and as a graduate assistant at Ohio State (2015-2016), Purdue (2013-2014) and Kent State (2012); he previously was Bluffton's defensive line coach from 2009-2011 and a student assistant at Dennison from 2006-2007. Mason played running back for Dennison from 2005-2006.

Quarterbacks coach Cam Turner

Turner comes to the Colts after five seasons with the Arizona Cardinals spent as co-pass game coordinator/quarterbacks (2022), quarterbacks coach (2021), offensive assistant/assistant quarterbacks coach (2020), assistant quarterbacks coach (2019) and offensive assistant (2018). Under Turner, 2019 No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray blossomed into earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2019, then back-to-back Pro Bowl berths in 2020 and 2021.

Before joining the Cardinals, Turner spent three seasons with the Carolina Panthers as assistant quarterbacks coach (2017) and assistant wide receivers coach (2015-2016). He was Florida International's quarterbacks and wide receivers coach under his father, Ron, from 2013-2014; he also spent time with the Minnesota Vikings (assistant to the head coach, 2011-2012) and The Citadel (wide receivers coach/special teams coordinator, 2010). Turner is the nephew of longtime NFL coach Norv Turner – who hired Steichen to his first NFL job with the San Diego Chargers in 2011 – and the cousin of Las Vegas Raiders passing game coordinator Scott Turner.

Running backs coach DeAndre Smith

With Smith as his running backs coach in 2022, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley set a career high with 1,312 rushing yards; he added 10 touchdowns along with 57 receptions en route to his second career Pro Bowl selection. The Giants ranked fourth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (148.2) and rushing yards per play (4.8) in 2022.

The Giants were Smith's first NFL coaching gig after an extensive career at the college level. Smith coached running backs at Texas Tech (2019-2021), Utah State (2018), North Carolina (2017), Purdue (2016), Syracuse (2013-2015), New Mexico (2012, 2008), Illinois (2010-2011), UNLV (2009), Miami Ohio (2005-2007) and Northern Illinois (2001-2004). At UNLV, he overlapped with Steichen, who was a graduate assistant for the Runnin' Rebels in 2009.

Smith, a Missouri State alum, began coaching his coaching career as Indiana State's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach from 1999-2000.

Tight ends coach Tom Manning

Manning, the Colts' tight ends coach in 2018, re-joins the team in the same capacity after spending the last four seasons as Iowa State's offensive coordinator. As the Colts' tight ends coach in 2018, Eric Ebron was selected to the Pro Bowl with career highs in receptions (66), yards (750) and touchdowns (13); Jack Doyle had 26 catches for 245 yards in six games while Mo Alie-Cox caught his first two career touchdowns that year, too.

As Iowa State's offensive coordinator, Manning also held titles as tight ends coach (2020) and running backs coach (2019). He joined the Colts in 2018 after two seasons as the Cyclones' offensive coordinator/offensive line coach (2016-2017). Prior to Iowa State, Manning spent time as an offensive line coach with Toledo (2012-2015) and his alma mater Mount Union (2011).

Offensive line coach Tony Sparano Jr.

Sparano Jr. joins the Colts after serving as an assistant offensive line coach for each of the last six seasons with the Giants (2022), Carolina Panthers (2021) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-2020). Under Sparano, the Giants' Andrew Thomas developed into one of the NFL's premier left tackles in 2022 – his 89.9 Pro Football Focus pass block grade ranked second among left tackles, while his 90.3 overall grade ranked third.

Sparano was the Buffalo Bills' tight ends coach from 2015-2016, and spent three years with the New York Jets as a seasonal intern (2012), offensive intern (2013) and offensive assistant (2014). He was hired by his father, longtime NFL coach Tony Sparano, as an offensive quality control coach with the Miami Dolphins in 2011.

Assistant offensive line coach Chris Watt

Watt, a 2014 third-round pick of the Chargers – where Steichen was a coach – joins the Colts after spending 2022 as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame. Watt was Tulane's offensive line coach in 2021 and began his coaching career in 2020 as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame.

Prior to coaching, Watt appeared in 17 games (eight starts) for the Chargers from 2014-2015. He was Notre Dame's starting left guard from 2011-2013, where he played under longtime O-line mastermind Harry Hiestand and next to future perennial All-Pro Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin, who was Notre Dame's starting left tackle. From 2011-2017, Notre Dame only had one season where Watt or Quenton Nelson was not the team's starting left guard.

Assistant to the head coach TJ Ingels

Ingels joins Steichen's staff after serving as Wisconsin's director of football operations under head coach Paul Chryst. A Wisconsin graduate, Ingels was a student assistant for the Badgers from 2006-2010; he worked with the San Francisco 49ers' equipment staff from 2011-2012 and spent 2013 as an offensive graduate assistant/director of recruiting operations for North Carolina State. He was hired by Chryst as Pittsburgh's director of football operations in 2014.
