It is not uncommon for a former NFL player to see his son make his debut with a franchise, but it is rare to see the son of a Super Bowl champion play in the league. It is even rarer to see the son of a former champion win a ring, but it has happened a few times.

Among the proud parents who have seen their children in the NFL include Don Hasselbeck, who saw his two sons Tim and Matt Hasselbeck make their debuts. Four-time Super Bowl champion Ronnie Lott also watched his son make his league debut and win a ring.

On the other hand, some former champions had children who played other sports or were simply never interested in the NFL. Other children felt the pressure to be like their parents, even though their parents expressed that they did not want their children to play football.
