Yes. But this year will be the 1st time 3 rookies started for a defense in the superbowl.

Why in the absolute hell would you think a rookie linebacker has never started in super bowl? Ever?

There have been roughly 650 linebackers starting a super bowl, conservatively. I'm guessing it has happened.
