[NU Sports] Kids of NFL guys....

[Weinbaum, Willie]

Among coaches and staffers, NU alum Ernie Adams has been Bill Belichick's right-hand man for years and has received Super Bowl rings with the Pats.  See N'western Magazine story on him @ this link:

Ahh, but that was not always true. Alan even talked about it here before Trai Essex broke
the jinx even though he was not technically "active" for the Super game.

By my calculations, 4 Cats have "Festivus" rings -
The Steelers won in 2006 with a former Wildcat on their roster, although Trai Essex was
actually inactive for the game, which starts the argument about whether you have to be
active for the "curse" to officially be broken. Meanwhile, Matt Ulrich was active in 2007
for Indianapolis' win over Chicago. Barry Cofield played for the 2008 Giants, winners over
New England, Essex won again in 2009, and Zach Streif played in theSaint's win over Indy
in 2010

Anyway, here is a link to my story that originally ran on Purple Reign (now Purple
Wildcats)- I've copied it to my Blog.

 Most recently Trai Essex got a ring with the Steelers so Northwestern is not a curse at
winning Super Bowl championships.


Any other Cats with Super Bowl rings?

It seems that we're starting to get more than our share of "sons of NFL Players"
now.

Dwight White's father was a major NFL star, but it seems that we've had several other kids
whose father was a pro player.

Wonder if anyone has worked that one up - I'll beg off, I already did the research on the
"Wildcat Jinx" (which appears to be back this year - no Cats in the Superbowl, I
think)
