Yes, Ron Mix is one of them. The venerable George Blanda is another.
Blanda was one one I couldn’t come up with even though he was my answer to yesterday’s question! :oops: Dungy was the the guy that immediately came to mind. Then I realized the other 4 had to be AFL players. I came up with 3 but missed Blanda. So here are the 5...

Dungy
Alworth
Maynard
Mix
Blanda
That's the answer-- the technicality, of course, is that the last four were selected many times for the AFL All-Star Game, but that the Pro Bowl was the name strictly for the NFL. None of them were selected after the merger when it became an AFC-NFC thing.
I guess I get a swig of Chris's beer.

A very easy one:

Name the two players who were part of both the first Super Bowl teams for both the Eagles and Patriots in the 80s.


Bonus question:

Name the other drafted player (from the Eagles or Patriots) who played in an 80s Super Bowl with the other of those teams.

For the first part, Tony Franklin was one of them.

and Franklin scored 4 pts. in each game (FG & XP) for both different teams and both games were played in the same stadium, and he lost both games, one for each conference!

Guy Morriss would be the other one.

This league title game featured both teams having offensive linemen who caught deflected passes...one reception was for negative 6 yards, the other reception was for negative 9 yards. Name the game.

That was the legendary '62 AFL title game. Al Jamison for the Oilers, Sonny Bishop for the Texans.
