Roundup: Gronk, Blount and more Pac-12ers win Super Bowl ring

How ‘bout that game for a Super Bowl, huh? Former Arizona Wildcat Rob Gronkowski and the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl in thrilling fashion, narrowly edging the Seattle Seahawks (who feature a ton of Pac-12 dudes). Gronk is the fourth Wildcat to win a Super Bowl ring.

Of course, Gronk wasn’t the only Pac-12er walking away with a ring Sunday night, as LeGarrette Blount and Patrick Chung are the latest Oregon football alums to win a Super Bowl. Other former Pac-12ers on the Patriots are Shane Vereen (Cal), Brandon Browner (Oregon State), Nate Solder (Colorado), Sealver Siliga (Utah), Akeem Ayers (UCLA), Matthew Slater (UCLA) and Cameron Fleming (Stanford).
