Did You Know?: Stinchcombs in the Super Bowl

This year's Super Bowl will be the first in history in which both starting quarterbacks are former recipients of the National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete Award, which was won by the Colts' Peyton Manning at Tennessee in 1997 and by the Saints' Drew Brees at Purdue in 2000. Also among the NFF National Scholar-Athletes slated to appear in this year's Super Bowl is former Bulldog Jon Stinchcomb, who captured the award while a student at Georgia in 2002.

Manning is the second recipient of the NFF's most distinguished scholar-athlete award, the Campbell Trophy, to appear in the Super Bowl. The previous Campbell Trophy honoree to accomplish that feat was Jon Stinchcomb's older brother, Matt, who won the award in 1998 before appearing in Super Bowl XXXVIII with the Oakland Raiders.

Go 'Dawgs!
