Football Bio
February 10, 1974 – Aliquippa, Pennsylvania – Ty Law, the ball-hawking corner from Michigan University, was born. The New England Patriots drafted him in the first round of the 1995 NFL Draft. Law played for 15 seasons in the NFL and registered 53 interceptions and returned those picks 828 yards in his career. Ty led the League in interceptions in two different seasons and played in five Pro-Bowls.
Law was a member of 3 Super Bowl teams and helped the Patriots raise the Lombardi Trophy twice. After 10 brilliant seasons with the Pats, he also played for the Jets, Chiefs, and Broncos before retiring. The 2019 enshrinement ceremonies reserved a spot in their program for Ty Law’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

His ability to perform in the biggest moments—most notably his pick-six in Super Bowl XXXVI—cemented his legacy as a big-game performer.
