How Walter Payton's Super Bowl ring ended up in a college kid's couch
ATLANTA - They have been lost and found, pilfered and pawned, paraded around bars and locked away in wall safes.

As the game has grown over the years, so has the size and splendor of the reward. The first, awarded in 1967 to the Green Bay Packers, had a single one-carat diamond set in a simple yet striking design. The latest, earned last year by the Philadelphia Eagles, had 219 diamonds and 17 green sapphires in 10-carat white gold.
