In the last few years, there has been an influx of Tigers into the NFL. I was sitting here watching the Steelers/Eagles game, someone mentioned Alan Faneca and it got me thinking about how many former tigers are not only in the NFL, but starting in the NFL. Its quite a list. I wonder how we compare to other schools. Here is the list I came up with. If I missed someone, post away. Note that these guys arent necessarily guys that have started games in the past, just those listed first on the depth chart at this point in the preseason. Code: [b] # NAME POS. HT. WT. EXP. TEAM[/b] 80 Michael Clayton WR 6-3 197 2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21 Travis Daniels CB 6-1 192 R Miami Dolphins 37 Domanick Davis RB 5-9 221 3 Houston Texans 83 Eric Edwards TE 6-4 256 2 Arizona Cardinals 66 Alan Faneca T 5-10 307 8 Pittsburgh Steelers 31 Randall Gay DB 5-11 186 2 New England Patriots 95 Howard Green DT 6-2 315 3 New Orleans Saints 97 Jarvis Green DE 6-3 290 4 New England Patriots 56 Bradie James LB 6-2 245 3 Dallas Cowboys 20 Tory James DB 6-2 186 10 Cincinnati Bengals 87 Eddie Kennison WR 6-1 201 10 Kansas City Chiefs 94 Chad Lavalais DT 6-1 293 2 Atlanta Falcons 68 Kevin Mawae C 6-4 289 12 New York Jets 62 Todd McClure C 6-1 286 7 Atlanta Falcons 92 Anthony McFarland DT 6-0 300 7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 Mark Roman DB 5-11 200 6 Green Bay Packers 88 Robert Royal TE 6-4 257 3 Washington Redskins EDIT- Added Eric Edwards, he isnt listed on lsusports.net for some reason. Im not going to add Peterman just yet, since he isnt listed as the starter on nfl.com.
Eric Edwards was 1st team for the Cards, but I think he has already gotten hurt... don't know how serious his injury is/was. Update: Still listed as first team on NFL.com Injury Update: Pectoral Muscle injury estimated to be out 3 weeks as of 8/5...
tore his pec a couple weeks ago and they thought he was done for season but its only partially torn. wearing a harness for 2-3 weeks but hopefully will recover.
You forgot about Devery Henderson with the Saints... Nevermind... I just paid attention to the title... "STARTING" Although Devery is fighting for a starting job right now.... What is the list of former tigers presently in the NFL?
BTW - did anyone see the huge game trev faulk had against chicago this w/e? 12 tackles and in the backfield all night. could he by vying for a starting LB spot on that sad rams defense?
