Florida State still has plenty of former stars competing in the NFL Playoffs. The Seminoles have been represented in 12 consecutive Super Bowls and will extend that streak later this year.
In the meantime, FSU head coach Mike Norvell is doing his part to support a few players that he coached who are still participating in the postseason. Norvell is in Philadelphia on Sunday to watch five former Seminole standouts battle in the divisional round matchup between the Eagles and Los Angeles Rams.
Norvell was spotted meeting with Eagles rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson during pregame. He was joined by Florida State General Manager, Darrick Yray.
“Proud of you. Hey, go put on a show,” Norvell told Wilson.

Alongside Wilson, former FSU defensive end Josh Sweat suits up for Philadelphia. There are a couple of other Norvell ties in green and white. Norvell coached defensive end Bryce Huff and running back Kenneth Gainwell during his tenure at Memphis.
The Seminoles have a trio of former defensive linemen on the Rams; Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, and Keir Thomas. Verse and Fiske have put together terrific rookie campaigns.
Norvell coached Wilson, Verse, Fiske, and Thomas at FSU. Wilson, Verse, and Fiske were all crucial starts on the ACC Championship team in 2023.
The winner between the Eagles and Rams will advance to the NFC Championship to face the Washington Commanders and former FSU offensive lineman Bobby Hart next weekend.
