In response to res
One name that comes to mind is Potsy Jones, who was a multiple all-pro OL in the 1930's. Played for at least one NY Giants championship team, plus at least three teams that lost in the championship game. Jones played for the Bison from 1927-29 when they went 19-7-4 and beat Penn State all three years.
Another Bison who played for an NFL championship team was Arda Bowser, a RB and kicker, who played for the undefeated Canton Bulldogs in 1922. Bowser actually played for pro teams in two different leagues at the same time, and he once played four games in four days over the long Thanksgiving weekend.
And George Young, of course, was the architect of a couple of NY Giants Super Bowl wins as their GM - but he was not a player.
In MLB, Moose McCormick played for NY Giants teams that won NL championships in 1912 and 1913 - but they lost in both World Series.
