9. Jim McMahon
You cant deny it! Whats not to love about this guy? This is a two-time Super Bowl champ with the Chicago Bears. Hed probably rock one of his headbands during the round and —
of course — youd be doing The Super Bowl Shuffle to get hyped up for the match.

Jim McMahon. – Irish Putts
Jim McMahon. Chicago Bears. Barefoot and beer drinking – TJ Wolnik
8. Steve Young
Young was Joe Montanas backup and the first Super Bowl MVP who was also the leading QB, and leading rusher. He finished his career with the San Francisco 49ers as a three-time Super Bowl Champion.

But seriously, Steve Young. I bet he would have a nasty lefty swing. – Pat Evett
Steve Young! – Drew Frechette
7. Adam Vinatieri
What? Did you know that a kicker made it to the top? You bet. Vinatieri is a four-time Super Bowl champ (three with New England, one with Indianapolis), and is considered the greatest clutch kicker ever. The Snow Bowl against the Raiders, where — in blizzard conditions — he kicked a game-tying field goal in regulation and a game-winner in overtime; and two Super Bowl-winning field goals in the final seconds of those memorable games.

Adam Vinatieri. Talk about money, this guy is a mister under pressure. -Michael Toth
Adam Vinatieri. Because he was clutched when the pressure was on. . . That is a man I want to see win a five-footer. -Thomas Hawkeye Valdez
Adam Vinatieri. He is clutch when the game rests upon his shoulders. – Ryan Stonaker
6. Terry Bradshaw
Its amazing that Bradshaw didn’t get more attention. He won four Super Bowls for the Steelers in six years. Even more impressive? He was undefeated in all four Super Bowl appearances.

How come no one has said TERRYBRADHAW yet? – Matt Allen
Terry Bradshaw would have fun. James B. Batchelor
Terry Bradshaw. The Man has never lost. So, in golfing, I would win every time! Gary Hernet
Terry Bradshaw. He was not as athletic or natural as Joe Montana. Yet, he did the exact same thing Montana did: led his team to 4 Super Bowls. Terry is my best friend. I was born and raised in Northern California. 49er Fan. Terry Bradshaw, a Football Fan, is DA MAN. Ed Rapp
5. Jerry Rice
Okay. Weve reached No. 5 to No. 2 where you could flip a coin as to the order in which these players should be ranked. No. 5 is widely regarded as the greatest wide receiver in NFL history and the greatest overall player. Rice won three Super Bowls in San Francisco with the 49ers and an AFC Championship at the Oakland Raiders. If you havent heard, Rice loves to play golf.
Jerry Rice

Jerry Rice. – Thomas Moran
JERRY RICE. Rickey Joseph Abraham
Jerry Rice definitely. – Jeremy Clark
Jerry Rice all the day! Antwain Smith
Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIII. With 215 yards and 11 catches, he won the game MVP. He said Montana was the best and deserved the MVP in a post-game interview. Hes a class act and the greatest WR of all time. Hed be a great partner for golf. Travis Falkner
4. Eli Manning
It was difficult to imagine Peyton as your quarterback before 2007. However, with two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots — both MVP performances, one of which broke up an undefeated season for the Patriots — little brother Eli and the New York Giants have proven on more than one occasion that youd rather have Eli in the clutch than big brother Peyton. Its not bad considering that both will be Hall of Famer.

Eli Manning because of his prowess in mastering the 4th quarter drives. -Kristin Conforti
Eli Manning . . . He is not to be underestimated. He has something to prove. He plays with no fear, and has shown that he can hold his own under pressure. – A.P. Cooper
Eli Manning. He doesnt care about whether you are undefeated, or if your team is supposed to beat him. Mr. Clutch. -Mike Heiss
3. Tom Brady
What can I say? This guy is extraordinary. He is the slowest player on the field, but he is also the smartest. Yes, I know this is written by a New England Patriots diehard fan. But that is not the point. Brady is considered the greatest of all time, with seven Super Bowl wins — six with the Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . . . This is the highest number of NFL players. Brady, who retired earlier this month after a career of nearly every NFL passing record, is still the best.

2. John Elway
Elway led the Denver Broncos to five Super Bowls. Elway was able to win back-to-back Super Bowls on those trips. Elway retired from the NFL in 1999. He was statistically one among the most prolific passers in NFL History.

1. Joe Montana
Remember earlier when we said you could flip the coin for No. 5-2? Its No. This is the one thats unquestionable. Not even close. Montana is far and away the only player in NFL history that most Facebook users would like to have on their side. Why? He was a starter in four Super Bowl matches. . . All of them won.
