Five LSU products to appear as Patriots face Giants in Super Bowl

LSU will have five of its former football players on the field for Super Bowl XLII when the New England Patriots face the New York Giants on Feb. 3 in Phoenix.

The five former LSU players in the game are the most of any team in the Southeastern Conference.

In all, 20 former SEC players will take part in the contest. Outside of LSU, Tennessee is next with four participants, followed by Auburn, Georgia and Florida with two each.

Of the five Tigers playing the game, four will suit up for the New England Patriots with cornerback Corey Webster being the only former LSU player on the Giants roster.

The Patriots with LSU ties include defensive tackle Jarvis Green, cornerback Randall Gay, linebacker Eric Alexander and running back Kevin Faulk.

Green and Faulk both have three Super Bowl rings to their credit, while Gay and Alexander have been a part of two championships. Gay and Alexander both were starters on LSU’s 2003 BCS National Championship team.

In addition to the five players participating in the game, LSU will also have a presence on the sidelines as former Tiger assistant coach Pete Mangurian serves as tight ends coach for the Patriots.

Mangurian, who was on the LSU roster as a player in the 1970s, coached the offensive line for the Tigers from 1983-87.
