OT: Super Bowl question

A co-worker was saying this morning that every player on every NFL team gets 2 tickets to the Super Bowl. I said no way, because that would be over 2000 tickets the league couldn't sell.
Anyone know which is true?

Players and coaches most certainly have access to tickets that are not placed for sale with the general public but I couldn't tell you if they were free or not.

It also varies by team. Years ago we had a box for the Oilers at the old Dome, and it gave us the right to purchase two Super Bowl tickets every year. They weren't free, but the options gave us good tickets at face value.
