CBS Ranks Top NFL Stars Without Super Bowl Wins

CBS Sports has ranked top NFL players without a Super Bowl win, now prominently featuring Buffalo Bills legends including Jim Kelly, who led the team to four straight Super Bowl appearances, as well as Hall of Famers O.J. Simpson and Bruce Smith. Current Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues the franchise's representation on such lists, reflecting the team's enduring championship drought despite producing elite talent. Iconic players from other teams, like Steve Largent of the Seahawks and Terrell Owens of the Cowboys, are also recognized for their outstanding careers without a title. The rankings underscore that greatness in the NFL is often measured by individual dominance, Hall of Fame achievements, and cultural impact, not just championships. Analyses also highlight storied teams such as the 1985 Bears and 2005 Steelers, considering their influence on football history. This broader approach shows how NFL legacies are shaped by both on-field excellence and lasting influence.
