Charles Haley, 5 Super Bowls, but this guy did it first:

Marv Fleming.
Green Bay and Miami.
OK, I get it, he's 4-1.
Still, he played in 5.
Pretty cool guy.
What are the odds of a black kid from a poor family from South Central Los Angeles?
1)…Finishing high school as an All-American athlete, as well as becoming a Golden Gloves boxer.
2)…Being offered 27 university football and basketball scholarships.
3)…Being one of the first black football players to attend and graduate from an almost all-white, Mormon University in Utah. Graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree.
4)…Breaking his neck in a car crash in a car driven by his roommate, a future winning Super Bowl football coach, plunging through a guardrail 150 feet into the Truckee River, yet physically being unaffected by this injury in his playing career.
5)… Being recruited by Vince Lombardi, the greatest coach of all time, and making the team at the age of 20; playing tight end position for the Green Bay Packers for 7 years with no back up for 5 years.
6)… Opting to go to the Miami Dolphins for six years under another coaching legend, Don Shula, when his Green Bay contract expired.
7)… Playing in 3 NFL Championships, and being the first athlete to play in 5 Super Bowls I, II, VI, VII and VIII; winning 4 of them. Becoming a member of the historic Miami Dolphins undefeated 1972 Perfect Season. Playing in the longest game and in the coldest game the Ice Bowl.
