Before his 10 NFL seasons and starting for North Dakota State University’s football program, Ramon Humber played for the Champlin Park
Rebels.
time stepping into the Su-
per Bowl arena. Humber
played for the Colts dur-
ing the 44th Super Bowl
against the Saints in 2010.
Refl ecting on both cham-
pionship games, Humber
said, the experiences were
completely night and day.
“It’s hard to even make it
to the playoffs, let alone
play in the Super Bowl, so
to play in a Super Bowl and
lose and go back nine years
later and have a win be the
outcome is a dream come
true,” Humber said.
This time around, Hum-
ber said the energy in the
arena felt like a home game
due to the strong showing or
Patriots fans. Even though
there is a lot of hype and
festivities surrounding the
NFL fi nale, Humber said
he most looked forward to
playing the actual game.
“Having my family there
was all that matters, be-
cause I’m there for business
and to play the game,” he
added.
Playing for Hall of Fame
Coach Bill Belichick has
also been a career highlight
for Humber.
“All the success he’s led
with the Patriots is just
remarkable, and for me to
be a part of a successful
season that led to a Super
Bowl win is pretty special,”
Humber said.
This is Humber’s fi rst
Super Bowl win and the
sixth Patriots win. When
asked about the continu-
ous Super Bowl success
for the New England team,
Humber said, “There’s no
secret, everyone just plays
their part and does their
job.”
