Volvo: Safety Beyond the Star RatingsThe Cars of Super Bowl LVI
Before the real Super Bowl LVI competition happens on the field, take a look at what's inside the garages of LA Rams and Cincinnati Bengals players.
Some Super Cars of the Super Bowl Players
Last year, we covered The Cars of Super Bowl LV before the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took to the field. This year, Tom Brady’s Rolls-Royce Ghost will be in his garage in Tampa. It’s all about the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. What cars are they driving? What cars have they gifted? Just how many cars do some of them have? Everything we know is further below.
Before getting to some of the key players on both teams, a mention of the Super Bowl commercials has to be made. So far, it’s known that BMW will advertise during the Super Bowl for the first time in seven years. Nissan, Toyota, General Motors, and Kia have all announced spots as well. One has to think Ford and a few other heavyweights will get their name out there during the commercial breaks, too. To relive years past, take a look at our Top 10 Super Bowl Car Ads of All Time.
LA Rams Players’ Cars
Matthew Stafford
The starting quarterback may have led the Rams to a 30-27 victory against Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but his car collection doesn’t exactly rival Brady’s own garage just yet. The key word here is: yet. Stafford spent 12 seasons in the NFL, so he’s no rookie to some pretty big pay checks. Endorsements with Pepsi and Nike helped pad his account enough to put down $19.6 million for a Los Angeles home that includes a custom-built 12-car garage. Inside that garage sit a black Rolls-Royce Wraith, a Ford F-150 Utility Truck, a red Ferrari 488 GTB, Bentley Continental, an Audi Q3, and a Range Rover.
He’s had the Range Rover since 2019 when he was still with the Lions. The Q3 is a family vehicle. It’s not a surprise that the F-150 has a spot in his garage because Stafford appeared in F-150 commercials for Ford just a few days ago. This collection of vehicles is estimated to be worth over $4 million.
Cooper Kupp
Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp recently purchased a $4.1 million home in the Westlake Village community of Los Angeles. It’s not a bad spot to start an automobile collection. Perhaps more impressive than the house is the long driveway, oversized motor court, and a four-car, attached garage. Cooper also has an Oregon home that has a garage that fits at least five cars inside.
Though Cooper Kupp hasn’t put much of his vehicle ownership on display, he has a partnership with Lexani Tires & Wheels, known for their custom luxury wheels. He was pictured with a Range Rover and some Lexani wheels in October 2021. He and his wife also took a McLaren out for a spin in November 2020. Whether he was borrowing it or taking it for a test drive, he seemed to enjoy it.
Jalen Ramsey
After starting his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, LA Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey is set to make his first Super Bowl appearance this year. The big question is: which team will win? For Jalen Ramsey fans, another question is: what will he pull up in? Jalen is known to arrive in style for the games.
Showing his family some appreciation, Jalen got his mother a white Land Rover LR4 in February 2018. Jalen also gifted his young daughter, Breelyn Erin Ramsey, a little pink car to ride around in. It is a licensed Mercedes C63S AMG battery operated electric ride-on car for toddlers, but it comes with a MP3 USB player, 12V battery power, LED lights, EVA foam rubber wheels, a polyurethane leather seat, and a seat belt. The little Benz comes with a full-function remote that parents can control.
When celebrating his 27th birthday in a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in October 2021, he showed up in a white Rolls-Royce Ghost. It was a few weeks before that when he really took it up a notch, arriving in his Porsche Taycan, freshly wrapped in LA Rams colors. Also in his collection is a dark red 2017 Chevy Camaro, which he purchased not long after signing with the Jaguars. He also purchased a Chevy pickup and SUV from the same Jacksonville Chevy dealership.
Von Miller
Von Miller spent most of his NFL career playing for the Denver Broncos before moving to the Los Angeles Rams in November 2021. He got a good head start on his car collection back in Denver. He purchased a Chevrolet Camaro SS, a BMW i8 hybrid, a 2016 Ford Focus pickup truck, and a Ferrari. The Camaro SS caught his eye when it became popular in the Transformers movies.
The BMW had a customized Batman emblem on the grille and on the floor mats inside. Obviously, he’s a big fan of the Dark Knight. I wonder if he agrees with our Batmobile ranking. Those cars are divided into two modes: A and B. The A Mode vehicles are fast and aggressive, mostly used for arrivals at parties. B Mode includes more moderate vehicles, used for everyday driving. He added a black 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor and a red 2021 F-150 to his garage. Von Miller also purchased a white Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
Odell Beckham Jr.
From the New York Giants to the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams! Odell Beckham Jr has made his way through the ranks of the NFL. Despite being new to the Rams, OBJ caught an impressive 9 passes for 113 yards in the playoff win against the San Francisco 49ers. He’s also collected quite an impressive list of vehicles during his time with the NFL.
OBJ also purchased a 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 for his mother, a 2017 Mercedes CLS63 AMG for his father, and a 2019 Jeep Wrangler for his sister. When it comes to his own collection, there’s his 2021 Lamborghini Urus, with 2,000 fiber optic stars in the headliner, customized 24″ wheels, and LED lighting in and under the car. It’s souped up enough to make 900 horsepower, too! Odell is a well-known friend of Petronas-AMG Formula One driver and 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, so he’s got a few connections.
There’s also a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a 2017 matte white Rolls-Royce Wraith, a pearl white AMG GT S coupe, a Ferrari F12berlinetta, a Mercedes CLS63 AMG, and a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. Those are just the vehicles we know about! These cars aren’t run-of-the-mill either. The Cullinan is a striking orange to match the Cleveland Browns colors. It also has a hood ornament that shows Odell Beckham Jr., in his number 13 jersey, catching a football. The Rolls-Royce Wraith has rose gold accents.
Cincinnati Bengals Players’ Cars
Joe Burrow
The Bengals quarterback hasn’t made any kind of automobile collection very public, but he did partner with Ohio-based Lordstown Motors as a spokesperson for their new electric pickup, the Endurance. The Endurance is an all-electric work truck with in-wheel hub motor technology. I assume Joe has some expensive cars at home since he purchased a gold necklace with the initials ‘JBO’ and the famous Nike swoosh. When asked by reporters if the diamonds were real, he responded: “They’re definitely real. I make too much money to have fake ones.”
It’s safe to say he has some up-front money for EVs, hybrids, and classics. Joe was a 2019 Heisman Trophy winner and the number one draft pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, so he hasn’t had years to build up those NFL checks yet. Once more big money builds in his bank account, it’s possible we’ll see more of what he drives.
Chidobe Awuzie
This ex-Cowboy cornerback has had a standout season with the Bengals. Big things are expected from him in Super Bowl LVI. He doesn’t put his vehicles on display all over social media, but he did post an image of his mother with a brand-new Range Rover he purchased for her in January 2018. Celebrating a Super Bowl win with a nice car seems appropriate, so maybe he’ll do a little spending after Sunday night.
Ja’Marr Chase
Another Bengals player who hasn’t shown off his cars as much as the LA Rams is the 21-year-old wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Then again, he just started his NFL career in September 2021. With a four-year rookie contract worth $30.8 million, Ja’Marr has taken to Twitter and Instagram to show off some pretty impressive cars, including an unspecified Mercedes-Benz model, a BMW 5 Series, and a pearl white Mercedes-Benz E-Class. He also purchased a car for his mother and a GMC Sierra truck for his father.
Tee Higgins
This Bengals wide receiver caused a little bit of controversy in 2018 because there was some confusion over whether he purchased a $200,000 McLaren while he was still a NCAA player at Clemson. Apparently, he didn’t buy the car, but, after signing with the NFL for over $8 million, he can certainly buy one now! This young man has been a fan of automobiles for a long time now. In fact, the reason he continued on with football when he first started playing is because of his love for Hot Wheels. His aunt made a deal with him that she’d buy him two Hot Wheels for every touchdown he made. Well, he made three touchdowns that night. He’s not alone. We love some good Hot Wheels too. In fact, we recently ranked the Best Hot Wheels Cars.
Tee was the owner of a Dodge Demon, but he’s since sold it. He was recently filmed looking at yellow and black Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C8, and a Lamborghini Urus. It seems like there are pretty good chances Tee will be able to find room in his garage for a new vehicle if the Bengals win Super Bowl LVI.
Joe Mixon
After graduating from the University of Oklahoma, Mixon signed with the Bengals as a running back in 2017. Five years later, he’s headed to Super Bowl LVI. We know that Joe has a few cars to his name. After a few delays, he got a Tesla Model X and customized it with tinted windows. He also owns a red Corvette C8 convertible with custom Forgiato wheels, red paint accents, and Namo-Ceramic window tint That car certainly looks sharp! He’s also been pictured with a white Bentley Continental GT and a Dodge Challenger. There’s sure to be more cars in his collection as his NFL career continues on. Based on his current vehicles, any new additions will also be customized.
More Vehicles To Come Soon?
The LA Rams may beat the Cincinnati Bengals when it comes to the car collections. Or, maybe the Bengals just don’t show off their wheels as much. Nobody wants to be the one making a long drive home after losing the Super Bowl, so the competition is sure to really heat up when players from both teams enter SoFi Stadium in Inglewood for Super Bowl LVI. To the victors go the spoils. In this case it’s a shiny, new Super Bowl ring and a trophy for the team. I have a hunch, however, that some of the winners will also probably spend some of their earnings on a new ride or two.
These players certainly like their sports cars and muscle cars. Whether you have the funds to buy one for yourself or not, it’s always fun to window shop. That’s why we have published several pieces that allow you to do just that: the Chevy Corvette Through the Years, the Dodge Charger Through the Years, and the Dodge Challenger Through the Years.
