Did you know that at least one Tennessee Vol has played in the Super Bowl since 1992 and 31 of the 42?
The list of Tennessee alumni headed to the Super Bowl grew by four Sunday with the additions of Gibril Wilson, Kelley Washington, Donte' Stallworth and Rashad Moore.
Stallworth, who teamed with Randy Moss as New England's No. 1 and 2 wide receivers, had two catches for 11 yards in the AFC Championship game. He ranked 24th in the AFC with 46 receptions for 697 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 15.2 yards per catch.
Wilson, who started at free safety, made 92 tackles (78 solo) with four interceptions and seven pass break-ups for the Giants. He made a team-high eight tackles and broke up one pass in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers.
Washington served as the fifth receiver for New England, playing mainly on special teams in 14 games. Against the Jets on Dec. 16, he recorded the Patriots' first blocked punt since 1999, slapping down Ben Graham's punt in the second quarter, and setting up the Patriots' possession at the Jets' 3-yard line.
Moore signed as a free agent on June 8, 2007 with New England, was released on Sept. 1 and re-signed on Dec. 19. He played in one regular season game and the AFC Championship game for the Patriots.
