The Philadelphia 76ers selected Washington Huskies Markelle Fultz with the first overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft. At that time, Fultz knew that he followed former Huskies Sidney Jones IV and Elijah Qualls to Philadelphia. Both Jones and Qualls landed with the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2017 NFL Draft, and neither expected to relish in any post-season success in their rookie seasons.
The 2017 season for the Philadelphia Eagles turned far better than anyone might have hoped for, as the Eagles claimed the victory in Super Bowl LII. As a result, both Jones and Qualls earned a SB ring as rookies.
