Here are some NFL players who never won a Super Bowl

Daniel Marino
In his second season, Dan Marino led the Dolphins to the Super Bowl, setting NFL records with 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns. In the Super Bowl, Marino faced Joe Montana, who had led the 49ers to their first title three years earlier. Marino threw for 318 yards and one touchdown, but Montana accounted for over 400 yards and four touchdowns in the 38-16 victory. Marino finished his career as the NFL’s all-time leading passer.
Randy Moss
Jerry Rice and Randy Moss are considered the greatest receivers of all time. Moss flourished in New England in 2007. He and Tom Brady caught 22 touchdowns in a single season – an NFL record – and helped the Patriots to a perfect regular season. Moss came close to winning his first ring in the 2007 Super Bowl, but the Giants countered with Eli Manning’s completed pass to David Tyree. With seconds left, Moss and Brady nearly made a long throw, but they couldn’t complete it, denying them a place in football immortality.
Barry Sanders
Barry Sanders led the Lions to their only playoff victory in 65 years, beating the Cowboys in the 1991 NFC title game. However, Detroit lost to Washington, which limited Sanders to 59 yards. Sanders’ last chance at a title came two years later, when the Lions were beaten by the Packers in Brett Favre’s first playoff victory thanks to a 40-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Sharpe.

Bruce Smith
In Super Bowl XXV, Bruce Smith’s safety gave Buffalo a 12-3 lead over the Giants. The Bills scored just one more time, ending the closest Super Bowl ever. Smith and his teammates trailed 20-19 with eight seconds left. Smith and the Bills, the NFL’s all-time leader with 200 sacks, played in three Super Bowls, making them the only team to appear in the big game four years in a row.
Anthony Munoz
Munoz played in two Super Bowls against the 49ers, losing both. His Bengals’ second loss came after Montana’s 92-yard drive to win Super Bowl XXIII. Although he did not receive a Super Bowl ring, Munoz holds the unofficial title as the best offensive tackle in league history.
