Photos: Former B1G players receive massive Super Bowl rings
You knew they were going to be massive. The only question was how massive they’d be.
That’s in reference to the New England Patriots’ rings for winning Super Bowl LI. Fittingly, winners of the unforgettable game got some pretty unforgettable rings.
On Friday night, the Patriots received their rings, which had no shortage of bling.

That meant a whole lot of former B1G players got a massive new piece of jewelry to add to their collections.
James White set three Super Bowl records and scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime. He already received a truck from Conan O’Brien for his MVP snub.
His reaction to receiving the ring might’ve been even better:

Patriots special teams ace and Olympic rugby player Nate Ebner also displayed his new 5.1-carat ring. The former Buckeye is running out of fingers to display his accomplishments:

Former Maryland player Darius Kilgo was only on the practice squad when the Patriots won it all, but he still got another Super Bowl ring.
Kilgo was part of the Denver Broncos team that won it all in 2016, too.

But of course, the man with more rings than anyone on the Patriots roster was that former Michigan quarterback. In case you forgot, Tom Brady now has five Super Bowl rings.
He reminded the world of that on Friday night:

The Patriots just added former B1G players and NFL rookies Austin Carr (Northwestern), William Likely (Maryland), Sam Cotton (Nebraska), Cole Croston (Iowa), LeShun Daniels Jr. (Iowa), Jason King (Purdue) and Damarius Travis (Minnesota).
Perhaps they’ll be showing off a new ring at this time next year.
