At least the past 2 Superbowls are disqualified due to age/position.

right

">=40yo former NFL offensive player who was on a SB winning team from XXXI - present" seems to sum up what we know pending my next question

edit: and apparently was a RB/WR/TE

Off-topic question wrt Q4:

I assume the intention and answer both mean USA national; would you have answered no if the person was Canadian or South American, etc.?

Seems like a potential wording issue that should be avoided in a game where semantics are important imo

There are a few directions to go:

1. Cut down the SB range (19 years currently, it's not SB50 or SB51)
2. Cut down the positions (3 currently)
3. Multiple Superbowls? (not sure how many qualify for that)
4. ?

There are only 2 questions left

We're prolly going to have to yolo it down to some somewhat narrow categories or we won't get enough definition to really get a good guess.

Obv if we're wrong, we're sort of screwed, but if we ask something too general we're screwed anyway.
Unless we go pretty general and get a no. Then we're in business for the same reasons lol

Having said that, there really isn't a lot of players left.

There are only ~60 players on an official roster, and only 25 years to work with.
And we've eliminated ~60% of the current players (because of positions)

And we can almost completely throw out the last 2 or 3 super bowls since most players won't be over 40.

the last point is not set in stone, just something from a 'what's likely perspective'
