On Sunday, three former Notre Dame football players will be represented in the Super Bowl 50 clash between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.

For the NFC champion Panthers, long snapper J.J. Jansen is a Notre Dame graduate that has carved out an impressive professional career at the position. For the AFC champion Broncos, left tackle Ryan Harris and safety David Bruton helped head coach Gary Kubiak’s squad reach the final game of the season.

Bruton will not play in the Super Bowl due to a broken fibula suffered late in the regular season. He recorded 49 tackles, seven pass deflections, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in 13 games (three starts) as a defensive back and special teams standout.

Harris has started every game this season for Denver after the organization signed him during the offseason.

Regardless of the outcome Sunday, at least one former Irish player will join the previous 41 to have earned a Super Bowl ring.
