Every former LSU Tiger to play in a Super Bowl
Over the history of the Super Bowl, the LSU Tigers football program has been well represented. A total of 78 former players make up the active roster, practice squad, and injured reserve lists for the game.
This year five active players will participate in the annual championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Benglas. The No. 6 player would be tight end Thaddeus Moss, who is currently on the IR for the Bengals.
Still, we will see history when the two teams take the field for this game. For only the second time in Super Bowl history, two quarterbacks selected No. 1 overall in the NFL draft will face off.
As we journey through the history of LSU players in the Super Bowl, we start where it all began with Super Bowl I featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers.
