Although not a popular sport in Puerto Rico, American football nonetheless is played in the streets of the Caribbean island occasionally.
Ron Rivera became the first Puerto Rican to play in the NFL when he played for the Chicago Bears in the 1980s. In 1986, Rivera became the first Puerto Rican to win a Super Bowl championship ring.
Other Puerto Ricans who have played in the NFL are O.J. Santiago of the Atlanta Falcons, Marco Rivera who now plays for the Dallas Cowboys and who in 2002 became the first Puerto Rican to play in the Pro Bowl as a member of the Green Bay Packers (the first of three appearances) and Glenn Martinez who in 2005 played for the Detroit Lions.
