The UCLA Bruins don’t have the most alumni to have played in a Super Bowl but UCLA isn’t too far off. The Bruins are ranked sixth with 116 former players to be on a Super Bowl roster. UCLA will add two more to the list this season with Jake Bobo and Zach Charbonnet of the Seattle Seahawks.
Unfortunately for Charbonnet, he won’t be on the field this Sunday, as he injured his knee during the divisional round against the San Francisco 49ers and is out for the rest of the season. Even though the past few years of UCLA football haven’t been particularly memorable, the Bruins have still produced pro-level players, which will help the 116 number grow in the coming years.
