Pete Lammons, George Sauer, John Elliott, and Jim Hudson have accomplished something that no other collection of Longhorn football players have ever achieved. They were both national champions and Super Bowl champions.
In total, there were 11 Texans on the New York Jets roster in 1969. One concerned New York sportswriter said there are “too many peppers (Texans) in the stew.” Pete Lammons said, “We kept telling the Jets that if they got enough guys from Texas that we’d win, and sure enough, we did.”
Four members from the same university on the same Super Bowl championship team was an NFL record from 1969 through 1993 when the University of Miami and the Dallas Cowboys broke the record.
