You remember Ryan Santoso, don’t you? Of course you do. - But now, you shall remember him as Super Bowl champion Ryan Santoso! - The former Carolina Panthers kicker of about three weeks will be getting himself a ring, as he watched his Los Angeles Rams top the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. And even though he wasn’t active for the big game, Santoso’s standing as a practice squad member will still net him the bling. - - When a dream meets reality.

The New York Giants sent away the 6-foot-5, 258-pounder for a conditional seventh-round pick, one they no longer have given what the Panthers ended up doing with their part of the deal. - In the Week 1 win over the New York Jets, Santoso converted on both of his field goal attempts and one of his two extra point tries. Being that the condition of the trade entailed Santoso being a member of the roster for two weeks, Carolina recouped that seventh-rounder upon releasing the kicker following his lone appearance. - The next handful of weeks would see Santoso move on to the Tennessee Titans and the Detroit Lions—two stops he had previously made in his four-year professional career. He then signed onto the Rams’ practice squad on Dec. 18, where his total of zero kicks eventually resulted in one beautiful Super Bowl photo op. - So, it seems as though everyone won in the end . . . except the Giants. - - RelatedFormer Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart: 'It took a while' to get over Super Bowl 50 lossPanthers sign former Cowboys draft pick to futures deal - - List - - Panthers react to Super Bowl LVI - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Panthers Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Panthers Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
