The Super Bowl is the most important game of each NFL season and arguably the biggest sporting event of every year. It's always the most watched game in any professional league each year and is often the most watched television program in general. For one game, it becomes the focus of the entire general public, not just the sporting world.
It's always interesting to pay attention to all of the developing storylines surrounding the game each season. The history of the game, teams, and players comes into the spotlight as the big game builds for two weeks before it eventually kicks off. One of the angles that has become particularly intriguing is looking at the different colleges and universities that Super Bowl participants represent.
Super Bowl 57 features the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. They will send 155 total NFL players representing 88 different schools, according to USA Today. Two of the the universities that will be accounted for this year are LSU and Georgia. This is the 22nd consecutive year that each of the two schools will send at least one player to the Super Bowl, tied for the longest streak in NFL history.
LSU will be represented by just one player this season, but their streak remains alive thanks to Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Georgia will feature four players. including two each from each of the two teams. The Chiefs players from Georgia are Mecole Hardman and Malik Herring, while the Eagles will send a pair of rookies, Nakobe Dean and Jordan Davis.
Both schools started their impressive streak of sending players to the game in 2002. The game featured the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots' roster included Georgia's Richard Seymour and Patrick Pass, as well as LSU's Kevin Faulk. The Rams didn't have a player from either university.
Which college holds the record for the most consecutive years of sending a player to the Super Bowl?
Georgia and LSU will continue their longest-active current streak of sending players to the Super Bowl. They are pursuing the longest such streak ever recorded in NFL history. The record is currently held by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who did so for 26 consecutive years.
Nebraska's streak began in 1993 with the Dallas Cowboys' Danny Noonan and the Buffalo Bills' Chris Hale. It finally ended in 2020 when neither the Kansas City Chiefs nor the Los Angeles Rams featured any Cornhuskers on their rosters.
