Quarterbacks are usually the focus of attention in the run-up to the Super Bowl and this year has been no different as the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for battle in Dallas this Sunday. Aaron Rodgers is attempting to win his first title in Green Bay and emerge once and for all from the shadow of Hall of Fame predecessor Brett Favre, while Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger will hope to complete his redemption from the off-field indiscretions that saw him suspended for the first month of the season and is bidding to join the elite club of three-time champion signal callers.
But as much as some people would have you believe, the quarterbacks are just part of the story, and it’s only fair to highlight some of the other, perhaps lesser known, players on the two teams that could have a decisive influence on the destination of the Lombardi trophy.
