Ever wonder what percentage of Super Bowl champions had a Pro Bowl quarterback? Can you get by without a star-studded secondary? The table below shows the number of Pro Bowlers made at each position for each Super Bowl champion.

As it turns out, 30 of 47 Super Bowl champions saw their quarterback made the Pro Bowl. That doesn’t include the 2012 Ravens, as Joe Flacco was not a Pro Bowl selection, but it does include the ’69 Chiefs, the only team with two quarterbacks to make the Pro Bowl (Len Dawson and Mike Livingston). The Ravens did have two Pro Bowl running backs, though (Ray Rice and Vonta Leach), joining the ’93 Cowboys (Emmitt Smith, Daryl Johnston) and the ’72 and ’73 Dolphins (Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris) as the only Super Bowl champs with multiple Pro Bowl running backs.

Arguably the least represented position is cornerback, which might be relevant to yesterday’s post: the average Super Bowl champion had just 0.45 Pro Bowl cornerbacks, the lowest average among positions that always have multiple starters (as opposed to defensive tackles or inside linebackers). Both Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams made the Pro Bowl for the 2010 Packers, but eight of the last nine Super Bowl champions failed to place a single cornerback in the Pro Bowl in that season.

Note: The farther back in time you go, the less clear some of the designations are regarding special teams player. Did Morris make the Pro Bowl as a running back, a returner, or a great player who was a running back and returner? As a result, take the “ST” column — which shows punt and kick returners along with special teams “aces” that made the Pro Bowl — with a grain of salt.

Other interesting note: the ’68 Jets and the ’85 Bears are the only two teams with two Pro Bowl defensive ends, and arguably Chicago’s Dan Hampton was just as much defensive tackle as he was end that year (he switched mid-way through the season to accommodate the Fridge). Those Jets are also one of just three teams to send two wide receivers to the Pro Bowl.
