Which NFL QBs have won a CFP National Championship and Super Bowl championship?

  • Joe Montana – won the CFP National Championship as QB of Notre Dame in 1977 and won four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers (1982, 1985, 1989, 1990)
  • Joe Namath – named CFP National Championship as QB of Alabama by the AP in 1964, won the 1968 Super Bowl as QB of the New York Jets

If Burrow can win Super Bowl LVI against the Rams, he will become just the third quarterback in history to win both a CFP National Championship and Super Bowl championship, joining Hall of Famers Joe Namath and Joe Montana.


Namath was the quarterback of the Alabama team that was named the CFP National Champion by the AP in 1964. During this time, the NCAA did not yet have a playoff so Alabama was voted the champion by about 55 sportswriters. Based off of these votes, the AP named Alabama the champion due to its 10-0 regular season and No. 1 finish in the AP poll. In his professional career, Namath, popularly known as “Broadway Joe,” led the Jets to their first and only Super Bowl victory in 1968 over the formerly-named Baltimore Colts.
In his collegiate career,
Montana led Notre Dame to to a 11-1 season en route to defeating the previously unbeaten and No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Montana’s success only increased in the NFL when he led the 49ers to four Super Bowl championships in 1982, 1985, 1989 and 1990.
