Saturday was an emotional day at LSU, as Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (formerly Chris Jackson) had his jersey retired during a halftime ceremony.
A number of former Tigers were in attendance, as was former coach Dale Brown, all to celebrate the impact Abdul-Rauf had on LSU.
And, as you can see in the photo below, former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick was also in attendance, as he’s a close friend of Abdul-Rauf:
