The Philadelphia Eagles' victory over New England in Super Bowl LII just put former Oregon Ducks running back LeGarrette Blount in elite company.

Twice.

Blount now has three Super Bowl titles after winning twice previously with the New England Patriots, tying running back Derek Loville and linebacker Mike Walter for most among Ducks alumni. Walter's three rings all came as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. Loville also won a ring with the 49ers, and his final two came with the Broncos. Like Blount, Walter and Loville also won Super Bowls in consecutive seasons.

Blount gained 90 yards on 14 carries Sunday, including a 36-yard touchdown.

In NFL history, Blount is also in rare company as a winner of consecutive Super Bowls with different teams.

Per Pro Football Talk, the only players to have accomplished that now include Blount, his teammate Chris Long (Patriots and Eagles), Deion Sanders (49ers and Cowboys), Ken Norton Jr. (Cowboys and 49ers), Russ Hochstein (Buccaneers and Patriots), Derrick Martin (Packers and Giants) and Oregon State alum Brandon Browner (Seahawks and Patriots).

And there's more:

Blount wasn't the only Duck alum to win a ring Sunday. Eagles running back Kenjon Barner and linebacker Joe Walker, who was not in uniform due to an injury earlier this season, each won their first rings.

Blount, Barner and Walker give Oregon alumni 38 combined Super Bowl titles.

Had the Patriots won, this story would have been about a different Duck joining the three-title club: defensive back Patrick Chung, who was part of Patriots title teams in Super Bowls XLIX and LI.
