Joe Andruzzi

Super Bowl Champions from Staten Island

By

The Super Bowl morphed in a short period of time from big game to undeclared national holiday – the perfect mash-up of sport, commerce, entertainment and patriotism. For even the biggest stars, a Super Bowl ring is the ultimate career validation, one that can’t be had for money or love, and the list of Staten Islanders who have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy amid a blizzard of confetti is a short one.

Joe Andruzzi, a 6-3, 315-pound guard from Tottenville High School and Southern Connecticut State, won three Super Bowls as a mainstay of the New England Patriots offensive line.
Andruzzi, who played 10 NFL seasons with the Packers, Patriots and Browns, became a symbol of strength after Sept. 11, 2001, when his firefighter brothers responded to the World Trade Center; and at the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, where he carried an injured woman from the chaos.
