In football circles, you might hear the term, "Super Bowl curse," floating around. It usually refers to Super Bowl teams that follow up with a less than stellar performance the next year or do not repeat as Super Bowl champions. Whether this jinx is common or not, the jinx has no bearing on the players who have proven statistically: they are not cursed.

More than 40 players have gone on to amass multiple super bowl rings with more than one team. The following lists highlights those amazing hex-free players. An asterisk* denotes that the player did not play the game, in most cases, due to injuries.
