Read moreIs Now the Time for a USC QB to Win a Super Bowl Ring?
UCLA has Troy Aikman, Notre Dame has Joe Montana, Stanford has John Elway, and USC has…Ron Johnson. Well, he didn’t actually play in Super Bowl XXXVII, but he has a ring! That counts, right?

LenDale White wants you to know he’s a good man up for grabs. Any takers? There is a little hitch though…a pending four game suspension for violating the league’s anti-drug policy.
