My Take
Dan Reeves is, to me, the embodiment of a football lifer. Nine Super Bowl appearances, the third most for any individual across a 38-year NFL career as both player and coach, is a staggering measure of endurance rather than luck. What strikes me is not just the trophies but the sheer persistence of returning to the biggest stage again and again. A Rome, Georgia kid who came up through South Carolina, he stayed in the trenches of competition for nearly half a century. He passed on New Year's Day 2022, but his footprint on the game is permanent, and I deeply admire that.
