Ben Coates’ Super Bowl XXXV Ring: A Testament to Triumph

An Iconic Career in the NFL

Ben Coates, a name synonymous with excellence in the NFL, graced the field for ten remarkable seasons. Drafted by the New England Patriots in 1991, Coates quickly established himself as a formidable tight end, earning five Pro Bowl selections and a revered place in the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. His journey with the Patriots culminated in a Super Bowl appearance against the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI. However, it was with the Baltimore Ravens that Coates would taste the ultimate victory, contributing to one of the most dominant defensive performances in Super Bowl history during their 34-7 triumph over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV.
