The oldest player and Super Bowl on this list is for Georgia’s first Super Bowl MVP. Scott was a member of the Miami Dolphins for their wins in Super Bowl’s VII and VIII as well as the loss in Super Bowl VI. But he was named MVP of Super Bowl VII.
In his MVP game, Scott intercepted two passes including one in the fourth quarter to help clinch a 14-7 win for the Dolphins over the Redskins. A year later Scott said two Super Bowl records that still stand. He recovered two fumbles which is tied with 12 other players. He is also the only player to recover a fumble by an opposing player and by a teammate.
Scott and other members of the Miami Dolphins defense are often overlooked because the defense was nicknamed the “No Name Defense”. But Scott retired with 49 interceptions in nine years including 35 as a Dolphin which is a franchise record.
