Actually, there were only two. Joe Kapp was the starting QB in Super Bowl IV and Fran Tarkenton was the starter in Super Bowls VIII, IX, and XI.
Lamar Hunt did not invent the Super Bowl but instead gave the game its name. Ed Sabol, founder of NFL Films, told the story that Hunt jokingly offered the name 'Super Bowl' after a toy, the Super Ball, he had seen his daughter play with. The name stuck and that Super Ball is now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
No, an NFL player does not have to play in the Super Bowl to get a Super Bowl ring. In fact, he doesn't even have to be on the active roster of the winning team. The NFL allots 150 rings for the winning team to distribute as it wishes. Also, the winning team often purchases more rings to distribute to people beyond the 150 allotment. These rings are mementos of the Super Bowl win and typically include the team name, year, Super Bowl number, player name, and uniform number.
