Parris Campbell is a Super Bowl champion.
Campbell became the 33rd former Ohio State player to win a Super Bowl as a member of the winning team’s active roster as Campbell’s Philadelphia Eagles blew out the Kansas City Chiefs. Like Ohio State vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl, the Eagles took a 34-0 lead before cruising to victory, ultimately defeating the Chiefs 40-22.

Campbell is the first Buckeye to win a Super Bowl since Darron Lee won Super Bowl LIV with the Chiefs in their win over the San Francisco 49ers five years ago. (Note: Jordan Fuller won a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams three years ago, but was not on the Rams’ active roster for their win over the Cincinnati Bengals due to a season-ending injury.)

Campbell was the first Buckeye to play snaps for the winning team in the Super Bowl since Nate Ebner and John Simon with the New England Patriots six years ago, though he did not make any catches in the Super Bowl. Lee was on the Chiefs’ 53-man roster for Super Bowl LIV but did not play any snaps in the game.
Did You Know?
A former Ohio State player has won the Super Bowl after all of Ohio State’s national championship seasons in the Super Bowl era.
- 1968: Matt Snell (Jets)
- 1970: Bob Vogel (Colts)
- 2002: Rickey Dudley (Buccaneers)
- 2014: Nate Ebner (Patriots)
- 2024: Parris Campbell (Eagles)
The Super Bowl victory is a triumphant end to a season that started off in turbulent fashion for Campbell, who told the Akron Beacon Journal last week that he contemplated retirement when the Eagles released him at the end of the preseason camp. He stuck with the Eagles as a member of their practice squad, however, and finished the playoffs as a member of their 53-man roster after being elevated to their roster for five games during the regular season.
Now, Campbell has a Super Bowl ring to go along with the national championship ring he won during his freshman year at Ohio State in 2014. He becomes the most recent former Buckeye to win a Super Bowl, having completed his Ohio State career in 2018, when he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after catching 90 passes – a single-season Ohio State record at the time until it was broken by Jaxon Smith-Njigba three years later – for 1,063 yards and 12 touchdowns.
