The Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl rings feature 219 diamonds and 17 green sapphires, and none of that seems excessive to Malcolm Jenkins.
The Eagles safety spoke with reporters on Thursday night at the team’s ring-unveiling event. He said that team owner Jeffrey Lurie asked the players whether they wanted modest rings, and their answer was no.
He added a great quote, too. “It’s the first time so act like we’ve never been here before.”
