UK Players in the NFL

It has obviously been a long time since a serious update was provided in this thread. Nearing season end seems like a better time to look at this than during camp, so...

Here goes. Methodology? I "Control-F" searched the roster of every NFL team at its official team website on 1/2/14.

The following 14 former UK players are currently in the league, and on an active roster unless noted otherwise:

Name/Pos/Team/Yrs Exp

Stevie Johnson WR Buffalo 6

Winston Guy S Jacksonville 2

Jacob Tamme TE Denver 6

Danny Trevathan LB Denver 2

Wes Woodyard LB Denver 6

Chandler Burden OL Kansas City 1 (Practice Squad)

Ricky Lumpkin DT Oakland 2

John Conner FB New York Giants 4

Larry Warford OL Detroit R

Randall Cobb WR Green Bay 3

Tim Masthay P Green Bay 4

Corey Peters DT Atlanta 3

Garry Williams OL Carolina 5 (Injured Reserve)

Alfonso Smith RB Arizona 4

He was replaced by Tre as Denver's leading tackler and now signed a free agent contract with the Titans where he will be joined by Williamson. I hope he is as good an influence on him as it looks like he was with Tre.
