I think the guy you are thinking about is Hollywood Henderson. The ring was bought by a big Charlie Waters fan I remember. Since selling his ring Henderson cleaned up and won the lottery - twice.

Perhaps there were more than 1 person? I did a quick google search and came up with this story....

Joe Gilliam Jr., 49, Pioneer Black NFL Quarterback, Dies In Nashville

Gilliam's career was marked by a series of highs and lows, including a starting role for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1974, six years after Marlin Briscoe of the Denver Broncos became the NFL's first Black starting quarterback.
"He paved the way for myself and the rest of the guys who now have opportunities to play," Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart, the first Black man to play the position for the franchise since Gilliam in the mid-1970s, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
However, troubles with drugs, in part, led to his benching and eventually ended his NFL career.
His financial problems led him to pawn two Super Bowl rings and left him homeless for a while on the streets of Nashville.
He fought his addiction to cocaine and heroin several times with stays in drug-rehab centers. Earlier last month, when former Steelers reunited for the final game at Three Rivers Stadium, Gilliam said his life was so tough at one point that he lived in a cardboard box under a bridge for two years and, "To me, it was like the Ritz-Carlton."
