Do all those schools have the NFL 50th Super Bowl football displayed? The NFL sent a commemorative football to every alma mater of Super Bowl players. Lex has theirs on display. I think that's the only one I've seen.

Howell was also with the Seahawks for one as well. Believe they lost that one to the Steelers.
