Former Brown football star gets Super Bowl ring

PROVIDENCE -- A former Brown University football star gets a Super Bowl championship ring.

Rookie linebacker Zak DeOssie is the Giants' snapper on punts. His father, Steve, was a linebacker and snapper who also won a Super Bowl with the Giants in 1991.

In a sideline interview with WLNE-TV, the younger DeOssie said Sunday's Super Bowl win was the pinnacle of any player's career. He says he's lucky it happened so early.

His father says watching his son's team win the Super Bowl was even better than winning one himself.

Extra: For more about DeOssie, read Journal sportswriter Kevin McNamara's profile of the player from last April.
