Former Rattler football standout Brian Tyms got his chance
to proudly hold the Vince Lombardi Trophy this weekend along with the rest of his
teammates on the New England Patriots. Even though Tyms did not see action
during the 28-24 win over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, he still
earned his Super Bowl XLIX ring by earning his spot on the roster.
Tyms picked up the "84" jersey number on the Patriots squad by proving that he had the athletic and mental ability to be part of the best team in the National Football League.
Tyms represents the promise of FAMU athletics. FAMU’s
mission is to offer quality programs that help young people reach their dreams.
If Rattlers invest more in the university’s sports teams, then FAMU will have
even more success stories like Tyms’.
