No matter what happens on Sunday, Georgia Tech will have representatives at the Super Bowl. All four teams playing for a spot in Super Bowl 50 – Denver and New England in the AFC and Arizona and Carolina in the NFC – have former Yellow Jackets, three on the active roster.
The more noteworthy game, from a Tech perspective, is the AFC matchup, where Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and Patriots guard Shaquille Mason will be key figures in the matchup. Thomas is the Broncos’ biggest offensive threat and recorded his second consecutive 100-catch season with 105 receptions, six for touchdowns.
