With the NFL playoffs in full swing and Super Bowl XLVI fast approaching, REALTOR.com brings you a look at the current and former gridiron greats who played the real estate market over the past year. The thirteen players listed have combined for a total of sixteen Super Bowl titles and twenty-one appearances on the NFL’s greatest stage. Besides a penchants for hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, the players also seem to have a keen eye for prime real estate, as evidenced below.
1. Troy Aikman
Former Dallas Cowboys legend Troy Aikman is no stranger to big game competition, having led the ‘boys to three Super Bowl titles (XXVII, XXVIII and XXX) during his tenure with the team. And if his 11,500-square-foot Dallas, Texas mansion, listed for $24 million in June, is any indication, the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback is certainly no stranger when it comes to All-Pro real estate.
2. Terry Bradshaw
Another multi-Super Bowl winning quarterback, former Pittsburgh Steelers great Terry Bradshaw managed to rack up four world championships (IX, X, XIII, XIV) during his playing days. Currently an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday, Bradshaw listed three Bradenton, Florida properties in December, the finest of which is a $1.4 million Mediterranean villa located within the Jack Nicklaus-designed Concession Golf Course community.
3. Walter Jones
Arguably the greatest left tackle in NFL history, former Seattle Seahawks lineman Walter Jones earned nine Pro Bowl bids and seven All-Pro selections over a span of 13 seasons. He was a member of the 2005 Seahawks squad that represented the NFC in Super Bowl XL and put his impressive Huntsville, Alabama mansion(at top), full-size football field included, on the market for $3.5 million in early 2011.
