#3 Jim Langer
Jim Langer was an effective center known for his blocking ability. He was part of the Miami Dolphins team that won every single game en route to the title in 1972. It was the last perfect season in NFL history.
He auctioned off his Super Bowl ring back in 2015. While not the ornate piece that players who have won championships in the modern era receive, Langer’s ring was a piece of sporting history and sold for around $37,000.
Langer's name was even engraved into the design of the ring, such was the level of detail the designers went to at the time.
#4 Jerry Kramer
Jerry Kramer is a Green Bay Packers legend. He spent the entirety of his professional career with the Wisconsin franchise.
Kramer was part of the Packers team that won two Super Bowls and five NFL championships prior to the merging of the two leagues. His 1967 Super Bowl ring was long sought-after because it came from the first Super Bowl ever played.
Kramer turned 80 in 2016 and wanted to raise funds to help send his grandchildren to college. He looked at selling off memorabilia and some of his personal possessions.
The 1967 Super Bowl ring was included and sold for a fee of $125,000.
#5 Lawrence Taylor
Lawrence Taylor may well be the greatest player to have ever played in the NFL. Bill Belichick certainly thinks so, and the pair worked closely together during their time with the New York Giants.
Taylor was a star pass rusher who could find his way to the quarterback with ease. He was the de-facto leader of the Giants team which won the Super Bowl in 1991.
Taylor is thought to have earned $50 million from his time in the NFL. However, a string of difficult situations, including legal battles, have seen that fortune decrease significantly.
It’s unclear just why Taylor put his 1991 Super Bowl ring up for auction, or whether he needed the money from it. However, it did prove to be a record-breaking seller. The ring being sold for $230,401 is testament to Taylor's popularity.
