Inactive Players for Super Bowl XLIX

It’s nearly game time for Super Bowl XLIX. Both teams, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, have 53 man rosters, but sadly seven off those players must be inactive to get the rosters down to the mandatory number of 46 for the game.

It has to suck to make it this far and not be able to play in the biggest game of your life. However, all the blood, sweat and tears are for naught. If their team wins, they will be partying all night long. If they lose, they will wonder what they could have done better to be on the active roster.

I won’t waste anymore of your time with my babbling. Let’s take a look at the 14 players, seven from each team that will not get to participate in Super Bowl XLIX.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Zach Moore DE

Josh Boyce WR

Brian Tyms WR

Joe Vellano DT

Jordan Devey OL

James White RB

Jonas Gray RB

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

BJ Daniels QB

Marcus Burley DB

Patrick Lewis OL

Keavon Milton OL

Garry Gilliam OL

David King DE

Kevin Norwood WR

No real big surprises on the inactive list this week other than maybe Gray for the Patriots and Gilliam for the Seahawks. Gray was extremely important for the Patriots until LeGarrette Blount arrived. Since then, he had virtually disappeared.

Gilliam scored the first touchdown for the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game two weeks ago. The Seahawks like to use him on three tight end sets mainly to block for Marshawn Lynch.
