Tiger Rag exclusive: Your LSU Super Bowl media guide

Former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu was one of seven ex-Tigers' defensive backs who impacted NFL games on Sunday.

It’s all LSU in Sunday’s 55th Super Bowl with six Tigers – three for the Kansas City Chiefs and three for the Tampa Bay Bucs – set to square off in Tampa.

While the Tigers have had six players in a single Super Bowl before – six New England Patriots in Super Bowl 39 – this is the first time LSU will have a combined six players on the active rosters of both teams.

Of course, at least three Tigers will join the current list of 50 Super Bowl rings won by 40 players.

To get you ready for the big game, welcome to the first Tiger Rag LSU Super Bowl online media guide.

Not only does this give you facts and figures on the players in this Super Bowl, but it also provides some historical LSU Super Bowl facts you may not know, as well as an LSU Super Bowl record book and a history of each game involving LSU players.
