He didn't play in the Super Bowl, but Zaire Anderson is on the practice squad for the Denver Broncos.

Given how good that Denver defense is, that's no small achievement.

It also means the former Husker linebacker will get a championship ring. If you had good eyes, you may have even noticed Anderson got a paw on the Lombardi Trophy as they brought it to the stage after Denver's 24-10 win over Carolina.

Anderson was undrafted last year, but was told by Denver personnel that if he didn't get picked, "We want to see you in a Broncos jersey."

Now, one year into his pro career, he'll own a piece of jewelry everyone who starts playing this game dreams of having.
