Martellus Bennett’s Super Bowl 51 ring sells at auction

The legacy of the New England Patriots’ historic Super Bowl LI comeback continues to hold value—literally. Eight years after the team’s legendary 28-3 rally against the Atlanta Falcons, one piece of that championship history just fetched a hefty price at auction.

According to Darren Rovell, the “first player and starter ring from Super Bowl LI, belonging to Martellus Bennett,” sold for $88,125 through Hunt Auctions. Bennett, who played a key role in the Patriots’ 34-28 overtime victory, contributed five catches for 62 yards in the historic game that saw New England pull off the largest comeback in Super Bowl history.

The final sale price of Bennett’s ring is notable, though some might have expected an even higher figure given the significance of the game. Super Bowl LI remains one of the most iconic championship performances ever, a moment that cemented Tom Brady’s status as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time by securing his fifth Super Bowl title and breaking a tie with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw.

This auction also highlights the ongoing demand for memorabilia tied to that unforgettable night in Houston. The Patriots’ dynasty created countless historic moments, and their impact on the game continues to be felt years after their dominant run. Bennett’s ring sale serves as yet another reminder of New England’s golden era and the lasting legacy of that legendary Super Bowl comeback.
