Every player in the Super Bowl has his own story on how they got there. For many, it will be their one and only trip. So may great players never get on the big stage during their career. Some like Tony Gonzalez of the Atlanta Falcons, will have a Hall of Fame career and wait 16 seasons before finally playing in a game with a chance to win the Lombardi Trophy. Unfortunately for Gonzalez, he may never get there again after his team's loss to the 49er's
James Ihedigbo of the Ravens got there the hard way as an undrafted free agent from UMass in 2007. The Jets signed him for special teams and as a reserve safety. He went to the AFC title games in 2009 and 2010 before the Pats signed him in 2011. He made a trip the the AFC game again and had his first appearance in the Super Bowl.
He has now played in four AFC title games (2-2) and will have two Super Bowl appearances after Sunday. Not bad for an undrafted player.
