The crowning achievement of Joe Flacco's NFL career came at Super Bowl XLVII, when his Ravens won the championship and he was named Super Bowl Most Valuable Player. But while the accomplishment might matter to him, the ring and trophy that came with it does not.

Flacco revealed on the Netflix Quarterback documentary series that his MVP trophy has been scuffed over the years because keeping it pristine wasn't a priority, as the trophy itself really never mattered to him. As for the ring, he said it means more to his children that they can put on their dad's ring than it means to him.

"This is my Super Bowl MVP trophy," Flacco said, showing the cameras how worn down it is. "It's tarnished as heck. It's been in my dad's place, nobody's touched this in 12 years, 13 years. These are things you think you're going to care about a lot, and I guess the idea is, 'That'd be cool, to have an office and put some things up.' And then you ultimately don't care about it. Like this ring. I think my kids like to look at it. I think that's ultimately what it's for."

Ultimately, Flacco knows the Super Bowl itself means something to himself and his legacy, not the tangible objects that came along with it.
