Former Boise State Player Heads to the Super Bowl

Even more reason to cheer for the Seahawks on Sunday...Seattle has a tie to Boise State.

Jeron Johnson is in his fourth year in the NFL, and plays free safety and has played on special teams for the Seahawks.  The Idaho Statesman says Johnson made his first career start this season, appeared in 15 games and totaled a career-high 19 tackles. He had a fumble recovery too.  Cool!  Do that against the Patriots on Sunday.

Boise State had 18 former players on NFL rosters this season, but Jeron is the only one to make it to the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks are a slight underdog on Sunday, but something tells me that won't bother them one bit.  They're the defending champs after all, and the Seahawks reign continues until someone knocks them off, right?  I can't wait for Sunday!
