Jim Burt is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on June 7, 1959 in Orchard Park, New York, United States. Former NFL defensive tackle who was a winner of Super Bowls as a player from the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers. He is a part of the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame.

He took off 49ers quarterback He knocked out 49ers quarterback Joe Montana in the 1986 NFC Divisional Playoff game as a member of the Giants but later went on to win a Super Bowl with the quarterback after singing with the 49ers in 1989. in the 1986 NFC Divisional Playoff game as an official of the Giants however he later was able to win the Super Bowl with the quarterback after he sang together with members of the 49ers during the 1989 season.

Burt joined the Giants as an undrafted free agent in 1981. He made the Pro Bowl in 1986 and finished his career with his 20 quarterback sacks. Burt was respected throughout the league for his toughness and determination, which resulted in him going from being an undrafted rookie free agent to a Pro Bowler. He is also known for knocking out 49ers quarterback Joe Montana on a pass in the 1986 NFC Divisional Playoff game. Montana’s pass was picked off and returned for a touchdown by Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor. The Giants won, 49-3, on their way to winning Super Bowl XXI.

Although many people often credit Harry Carson and Lawrence Taylor with inventing the “Gatorade Shower” on coaches following wins, Burt actually created it 36 years ago in 1984. The Giants had finished 3–12–1 in 1983, last place in the NFC East and third-worst in the 28-team league. As Carson stated in his 1987 book Point of Attack:The Defense Strikes Back, head coach Bill Parcells was especially hard on Burt in practice. Parcells on the Thursday before the game made Burt raise a 20 lb (9 kg) dumbbell repeatedly off the ground in the weight room for 45 minutes to simulate raising his arm powerfully out of his stance at the snap of the ball. Burt exacted revenge on Parcells after a 37–13 home win over the two-time defending NFC champion Washington Redskins on October 28 by dousing him with a cooler of water. The following season, the Giants dumped Gatorade on Parcells on October 20; it was another home win over the Redskins, but after consecutive losses to Dallas and Cincinnati. This became a tradition in football, analogous to the champagne showers teams make in their locker rooms after winning a championship.

The son of Jim Burt Jr. Jim Burt Jr. was a baseball player in his school, the University of Miami.
