Foreman was a hybrid between a halfback and a fullback. He was an exceptional receiver out of the backfield before most players were multi-dimensional. Gore was far more efficient in his lone Superbowl appearance. In the end, Anderson’s size at 6’2 220 pounds makes him versatile enough to play fullback.

Neither Gore or Anderson were great receivers. In the modern-day NFL, Foreman would be an excellent third-down back. Gore ran 19 times for 110 yards and a TD without a reception in a SB XLVIII loss by the San Francisco 49ers to the Baltimore Ravens. Anderson had one reception for seven yards in his SB XXV MVP performance.

Michael Irvin and the Dallas Cowboys defeated Buffalo twice in the Superbowl. The Bills lost to the Washington Redskins in between. In three Superbowls, two against Buffalo and one against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Irvin caught 16 passes for 256 yards and two TDs. Irvin’s best performance came in Superbowl XXVII versus Buffalo.

The playmaker lived up to his name with six receptions for 114 yards and both of his career TDs. Reggie Wayne holds the Miami football career record for receptions. Wayne played in Superbowls XLI and XLIV for the Colts with seven receptions for 107 yards and a TD.

The Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in SB XLI and lost to the New Orleans Saints in XLIV. Both of those games were played at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami earned the monicker Tight end U for the plethora of players produced at the position.
