High schools of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks

Westlake, Newman home to a pair of champions in the big game.

Whitehouse (Texas) and Serra (San Mateo, Calif.) have both had winning Super Bowl quarterbacks in the past two years. The schools will have the opportunity to add another when the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet Sunday in Tampa Bay for Super Bowl LV.

Patrick Mahomes of Whitehouse won last year when the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers while Tom Brady of Serra has won six previous Super Bowls, the last coming two years ago.

With Brady's six Super Bowl titles, Serra is the best represented when it comes players under center in the NFL's biggest game. Serra also has the most MVPs with Brady winning five and Lynn Swann winning MVP honors in Super Bowl X.

Two other schools – Westlake (Austin, Texas) and Newman (New Orleans) – have had two different Super Bowl quarterback winners. Drew Brees won for New Orleans in Super Bowl XLIV and Nick Foles won for Philadephia in Super Bowl LII. Both attended Westlake. The Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli, have combined for four Super Bowl wins as alumni of Newman. Peyton won in Super Bowls XLI and L and Eli won in XLII and XLVI.

See the full list below.
