29 greatest NFL players to never win a Super Bowl
By Mike Dyce
19. Jack Youngblood
Defensive end Jack Youngblood was a memeber of the Los Angeles Rams and their iconic and dominant defensive front nicknamed the “Fearsome Four.”
When Yongblood retired he had several team records, including most consecutive games played. More impressively is the reported 151.5 sacks Youngblood recorded over the course of his career. Youngblood comes from an era when sacks weren’t recorded.
Youngblood was highly decorated during his career, going to the Pro Bowl seven times. He was named a First Team All-Pro five times and to the Second Team an additional three times. He was named the NFL Defensive Lineman of the year in 1975 and the Rams MVP on three different occasions.
The Rams with Youngblood reached one Super Bowl at the conclusion of the 1979 season, but lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers who were finishing off their 70s dynasty. If Youngblood had been fully healthy, maybe the outcome would’ve been different. Youngblood played in Super Bowl XIV with a fractured left fibula, and because Youngblood was ridiculously tough he also played in the Pro Bowl a week later.
It was Youngblood’s lone Super Bowl appearance.
