UK Players in the NFL
- Thread starter Rob Gidel
- Start date
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

And in other news... the AFL lists two Cats as active:
Name/Pos/Team/AFL Exp
Mark Crawford DL Los Angeles 1
Christian Johnson OL Philadelphia 3
Name/Pos/Team/AFL Exp
Mark Crawford DL Los Angeles 1
Christian Johnson OL Philadelphia 3
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.Originally posted by rick64:
Wesley Woodyard 8th in the league in total tackles.
