Newton has the opportunity to reach very exclusive company with a win in Super Bowl 50. Only Marcus Allen has won a Heisman Trophy, a national college football title, a Super Bowl, a Super Bowl MVP award, and the NFL MVP award (though, not in the same season as the Super Bowl). Only two other Heisman-winning quarterbacks have started and won a Super Bowl -- Roger Staubach with the Dallas Cowboys and Jim Plunkett with the Oakland/L.A. Raiders.

College: USC
Game: Super Bowl XLIII

Leinart appeared in four games (no starts) during the 2008 season, during which the Cardinals advanced to Super Bowl XLIII, where they were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Leinart was reduced to spectator in the Cardinals first Super Bowl appearance, because in the previous season Leinart lost the starting quarterback job to veteran Kurt Warner, who skillfully guided a second once-moribund NFL franchise to the game's grandest stage. Leinart started just two more games in his career after the Cardinals' Super Bowl appearance and was out of the game in 2013. Leinart is one of five Heisman winners who were on rosters of Super Bowl teams, but did not play in the Super Bowl game.

Brown was in his 15th NFL season by the time the Raiders advanced to Super Bowl XXXVII, where they were defeated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 48-21. With future Pro Football Hall of Famers Brown and Jerry Rice in his aerial arsenal, Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon had a career year in 2002, earning league MVP honors.

George and Marcus Allen are the only non-quarterback Heisman winners to account for multiple touchdowns in a Super Bowl game.

Howard joined Marcus Allen, Jim Plunkett and Roger Staubach as Heisman winners who were also Super Bowl MVPs.

Rogers was in the final season of a seven-year NFL career when the Redskins reached Super Bowl XXII. He had five carries for 17 yards in the Redskins' 42-10 win over the Denver Broncos. Rogers was the NFL's leading rusher as a rookie with the New Orleans Saints in 1981 (1,674 yards), and then led the NFL with 18 rushing touchdowns with the Redskins in 1986. He retired following the Redskins' Super Bowl XXII win, citing nagging injuries.

Allen has the unique distinction as the only player in history to win the Heisman Trophy, a national college title, the NFL MVP, the Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP honors. In the 1983 playoffs, Allen rushed for 121 yards in a divisional playoff win over the Steelers, 154 yards in the AFC championship win over the Seahawks, and a then-Super Bowl record 191 yards rushing against the Redskins.

The Cowboys made an aggressive move to trade up into the No. 2 overall spot in the 1977 NFL Draft in order to get Dorsett. The move paid off. Dorsett rushed for 1,007 yards (in a 14-game season) in 1977. In the playoffs, Dorsett scored four touchdowns in three playoff games -- including a score in Super Bowl XII -- as the Cowboys hammered the Denver Broncos, 27-10, to earn the franchise's second Super Bowl crown.

Garrett was a rookie when the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to take on the mighty Green Bay Packers in the inaugural Super Bowl. Playing in his college stadium -- the L.A. Coliseum -- Garrett posted meager numbers in the game. Three years later, the Chiefs were back in the Super Bowl, this time they would emerge victorious in an upset of the Minnesota Vikings. Garrett scored the first touchdown of the game -- 65 toss power trap! -- in the 23-7 win.

Hornung (second from left) was reduced to being a spectator in the very first Super Bowl -- then known as the First AFL-NFL World Championship Game -- due to a neck injury. Hornung played in nine games in that 1966 season -- his last in the NFL -- scoring five total touchdowns in what would be the Packers' fourth championship season in six years. On the night before Super Bowl I, Hornung was invited to be a part of teammate Max McGee's legendary night out on the town, but declined the invitation. Hornung suited up for Super Bowl I, but was the only player on the roster to not appear in the 35-10 drubbing of the Kansas City Chiefs.
