Washington Huskies In The NFL

After going to the National championship game the Huskies have more players in
the NFL.  They currently have 29 active
along with those who are on injured list and practice squad. Here we will mention those who are on injured list and practice who
have familiar names. Go with those on active for the most part. Break this in two part. We will end with the Tampa Bay Bucs
since they have the most players.



Baker is in his 8th season with the Cardinals and nSunday October 6 will be his 100th game for them. He has been a six years a Pro Bowler however talks the Cardinals may trade him. The reason is get more players and younger as well. 



Arizona Cardinals have two players. Andre 
Baccellia wide receiver on the PS. Buddha
Baker continues to play well at safety. 

The Atlanta Falcons have four players.
Most familiar is Michael Penix Jr. quarterback from last season's national 
championship game. Right now he
is the backup quarterback which was 
a surprise the Falcons drafted him so
high. Edge rusher Bralen Trice was 
drafted as well. He was injured during
training camp so may not.see him either.
Kevin King who spent five years with
GB Packers is now a member of the Falcons where he is backup at right cornerback. Right tackle Kaleb McGary 
has been a mainstay for the Falcons since
being drafted in the first round in 2019. 
He helps the running game.

Roger Rosengarten is the only member
of the Baltimore Ravens. Drafted this
year in the second round he is the backup
right tackle. He did make a start in his
fourth game as Patrick Mekari was moved to left guard because of an injury. Roger
made a good impression on his head
coach. May see more of him.

Taylor Rapp who was drafted and played
four years for the LA Rams is now in his
second year for the Buffalo Bills. He is
now starting at strong safety after only 
starting four games last year. Linebacker
a rookie Edefuan Ulofoshio drafted fifth 
round made the roster though still looking
for playing time. We hope he gets some some soon.

Carolina Panthers have Shaq Thompson
who is known around the team. Right now
he is on injured list. Safety Alex Cook
and running back Dillon Johnson are
on the practice squad.

Chicago Bears have three former Huskies
Rome Odunze drafted number nine as
the teams second first round pick along
with Kyler Gordon at nickel back and
Coleman Shelton at center. All three are
starting. Odunze so far as a rookie has
ten catches for 166 yards and one touchdown. Looks like he will have a
good career.

The Cincinnati Bengals have three Huskies.
Jake Browning got his chance last year
to quarterback as injuries happen. He started seven games. He currently a
backup and we hope he gets his chance. 
Jaxson Kirkland who had a good career
at Washington is backup at left guard.
He was signed as a college free agent. 
Spent his first year on the practice squad.
Drew Sample tight end is known for his 
blocking has four catches so far this year.

Nick Harris who was in camp with the
Seahawks was traded back to the Cleveland Browns is backup center.
He could play guard as well.

Salvon Ahmed who began his career
with the Miami Dolphins is now on
the practice squad of the Denver
Broncos. Luke Wattenberg offensive
lineman drafted in the fifth round
in 2022. He played only seven games
his rookie season. His patience worked
out as he played in 16 games in 2023
though he didn't start any and now the 
starting center. 

Levi Onwuzurike had to wait patiently
to be a starter with the Detroit Lions.
He got into 16 games in 2021 however
not as a starter.In 2022 he missed the
whole season for injured back. Last
year he played in ten games and now
he is a starter. Against the Seahawks 
on Monday night football he had three
tackles and a hit on Geno Smith.

This part one of the Huskies in the NFL
next time will be the second part. We will
give you more news on the season on
these former Huskies.
