FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -This Super Bowl is loaded with players who have been overlooked, underrated and even fired.
The New Orleans Saints wouldn’t be competitive, let alone NFC champions and in their first Super Bowl, without a number of players who fit those categories. The list starts with quarterback Drew Brees and includes Darren Sharper, Jonathan Vilma, Jeremy Shockey, Pierre Thomas and Marques Colston.
Same for the Indianapolis Colts. Defensive starters Gary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt weren’t drafted. Neither was Jeff Saturday, the three-time All-Pro who snaps the ball to Peyton Manning.
Two other starters, guard Ryan Lilja and defensive tackle Dan Muir, were picked up on waivers.
