Underdogs in the Big Game: Every former FCS, DII and DIII Player in Super Bowl LVI

Super Bowl LVI is mere days away and will feature a parade of talent from the "lower" tiers of college football. We use that word only to describe division, of course, because there's nothing actually lesser about any of the collegiate programs some of these guys once called their own. Viable NFL talent can come from anywhere. In fact, this year's Super Bowl features 15 players that are alum from an FCS school or lower. It's even more impressive when you realize that one of those guys was the best receiver in the entire league this year. The underdog programs of college football will be well represented in Los Angeles on Sunday.
