Super Bowl 52: Fans react to former Noles becoming champs
By Kelvin Hunt
Super Bowl 52 had a lot of great moments, but the best was former Noles beating Tom Brady to become champions.
The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 52 by defeating the New England Patriots 41-33 in what was an exciting game with lots of ebbs and flows.
Philly led the majority of the game before New England made some great half-time adjustments to take the lead late in the fourth quarter.
However, the Eagles offense was potent all night with their defense coming up with a huge turnover sack fumble of Tom Brady.
Former Noles Tim Jernigan, Ronald Darby, Nigel Bradham and Patrick Robinson are now Super Bowl champions.

Thoughts
Personally, I respect the greatness of Tom Brady but that doesn’t mean I have to like him. I was pulling for our Noles just like you were hopefully.
All the former Noles made the stat sheet and contributed to the win. Nigel Bradham had seven total tackles and Ronald Darby had four total tackles although he had a terrible matchup against Rob Gronkowski.
Patrick Robinson had three total tackles and Tim Jernigan had a tackle and two quarterback hurries.
Darby and Jernigan were huge parts of FSU’s 2013 National Championship team. This Super Bowl 52 win is more positive news for FSU football as they can use it to project what’s possible for recruits if they come to FSU.
The opportunity to win national championships and to win at the next level if drafted by the right team.
