Heinz ketchup company reaches out to LSU player after jersey number change

There were two LSU players that received new numbers this week as the Tigers finished another week of fall camp.

The first came as offensive lineman Chasen Hines switched his jersey number at the suggestion of LSU Director of Athletic Training Jack Marucci from No. 52 to No. 57.

Yes, his jersey will now read "Hines 57."

The Heinz company, for which Heinz 57 has become a powerful marketing tool over the years, even got in on the joke and offered to send a care package to Hines. Even if that might not sit so well with the NCAA.
