Florida, LSU lead SEC with three players on Super Bowl rosters

When Super Bowl LII kicks off in two weeks in Minneapolis, LSU and Florida fans will spot several players who were familiar before their first snap in the NFL.

The two schools lead all SEC teams with three players apiece in the Super Bowl, which will match the AFC champion New England Patriots and NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles on February 4.

LSU will be represented by Patriots defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois, Eagles punter Donnie Jones and Eagles cornerback Jalen Mills.

Eagles tight end Trey Burton, Patriots running back Mike Gillislee and Eagles defensive back Jaylen Watkins represent the Gators.
