Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson was a happy man Monday night. His alma mater, the LSU Tigers, won the National Championship Game Monday night, defeating the defending champion Clemson Tigers 42-25 behind quarterback Joe Burrow’s 463 passing yards and six total touchdowns.
With the win, Peterson took to social media to celebrate.

He even changed his profile picture. The last time he did that, it caused quite a bit of controversy, as he took out any reference to the Cardinals.
This is different. It celebrates LSU’s national title.
