Missouri football players in the NFL: Which former Tigers are competing for roster spots?
Preseason games are underway in the NFL, and several recent Missouri football alums are competing for roster spots. Mizzou has had first-round picks in back-to-back years, and the Tigers sent three players to the league in the 2025 NFL Draft. Several more players signed for teams as undrafted free agents after the April event was over. Here is every former Missouri player currently competing for a spot on an NFL roster: New York Jets Armand Membou: The right tackle was the No. 8-overall pick in this year's draft and is expected to immediately start for the Jets in 2025. He is joined in New Jersey by two of his former teammates from Columbia. Brady Cook: The QB signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent this year and is competing for a roster spot with Justin Fields, Adrian Martinez, and Tyrod Taylor. He went 6-of-8 passing for 62 yards in the Jets' preseason win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Harrison Mevis: The placekicker, after a standout year in the UFL, signed with the Jets in the summer. He went 3-of-3 on field goals in the Jets' preseason opener with a 39-yard long. Chicago Bears Luther Burden III: The No. 39-overall draft pick and three-year Mizzou standout has had quite the preseason, but appears to be settling into a role on new head coach Ben Johnson's offense. He caught two of his three targets for 29 yards in the Bears' preseason opener. Arizona Cardinals Darius Robinson: After missing much of his rookie season due to a calf injury, the No. 27-overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft is competing for a starting role on the Cardinals' defensive line. Los Angeles Rams Cody Schrader: Mizzou's single-season rushing yards record holder scored his first touchdown as an NFL player in the Rams' first preseason game, hauling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from former Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett. He led the Rams in rushing with five carries for 59 yards. The Rams' running back room is crowded, though, with Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, and Jarquez Hunter among the players Schrader is competing with. Miami Dolphins Theo Wease Jr.: The wideout was an undrafted free agent pickup for the Dolphins shortly after the 2025 NFL Draft. He appeared in Miami's first preseason game and had one reception for five yards. Larry Borom: The former Mizzou offensive lineman was a fifth-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears in 2021 and now will compete for the Dolphins' starting left tackle job. Denver Broncos Tyler Badie: The running back has recovered from a scary injury he sustained last season and had five carries for 32 yards in a preseason win over the 49ers. Kristian Williams: The defensive tackle signed as a UDFA after this year's draft and seemingly faces an uphill battle for a roster spot in a crowded room. Kris Abrams-Draine: The 2024 draft fifth-round corner had a tackle and defended a pass in Denver's first preseason game. He appears to be in a good position to land on the 53-man roster. Johnny Walker Jr.: The edge rusher out of Tampa, Florida, was an undrafted free agent pickup after the draft this year, but his rookie season ended before it started. He will spend the year on the injured reserve list due to a lower-body injury. Kansas City Chiefs Nick Bolton: The fourth-year NFL linebacker recently signed a three-year, $45-million extension. With two Super Bowl rings in hand, he is expected to be a starting middle linebacker for the Chiefs in 2025. Elijah Young: The running back spent three seasons at Mizzou before transferring to Western Kentucky. He signed as a UDFA with KC this year. Detroit Lions Ennis Rakestraw Jr.: The former standout Mizzou corner has had some bad injury luck again and will miss the 2025 season with a shoulder injury. He was a second-round pick in 2024, but will spend the upcoming season on the injured reserve list. Trystan Colon: The Lions signed Colon after center Frank Ragnow retired this summer. He most recently played for the Arizona Cardinals. Dominic Lovett: The wide receiver out of East St. Louis finished his career at Georgia after two seasons with Mizzou. He was a seventh-round pick in this year's draft. Mekhi Wingo: The St. Louis native spent one season with Mizzou before transferring to LSU. Green Bay Packers Ty'Ron Hopper: A third-round pick in 2024, Hopper has reportedly had an impressive summer in Green Bay. He has reportedly moved over to the strong side and is in the mix for a playing position on the Packers' defense. Indianapolis Colts Jaylon Carlies: The Mizzou safety switched to linebacker in the NFL, and that appears to have paid off as he is expected to start in Indianapolis this season. Nate Noel: The one-year Mizzou running back from the 2024 season originally signed with the Miami Dolphins after the draft, but was waived over the summer. On Friday, the Colts announced they had picked him up. Marcellus Johnson: In the same transaction, the Colts announced they had added Johnson, a former sixth offensive lineman and swing tackle for Mizzou. Jacksonville Jaguars Javon Foster: The fourth-round pick from 2024 was MU's starting left tackle for three years before that. He appears to have moved over to guard for the Jaguars. New England Patriots Marcus Bryant: The left tackle was a seventh-round pick by the New England Patriots in the 2025 NFL Draft. With No. 4-overall selection Will Campbell expected to start at left tackle, Bryant will shift to the right side for the Patriots, where he started in their preseason win over Washington. Yasir Durant: The offensive tackle was placed on the injured reserve list for the Patriots in July, and now will need to reach an injury settlement with the Patriots to be able to see the field in 2025. Seattle Seahawks Drew Lock: After a year with the New York Giants, Lock is back in Seattle — where he spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons — and is expected to back up Sam Darnold in the 2025 season. Cleveland Browns Isaiah McGuire: The defensive end is about to begin his third season in the league after a solid 2024 campaign. He is competing to start opposite Myles Garrett at the other edge-rushing role. Las Vegas Raiders Albert Okwuegbunam: The Raiders signed the former Mizzou tight end Aug. 3, shortly after he was released by the Colts. San Francisco 49ers Jordan Elliott: The defensive tackle projects as a starter on the 49ers' defense this season. Carolina Panthers Akayleb Evans: The one-year Mizzou corner was signed by the Panthers last December after being waived by the Minnesota Vikings. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Connor Bazelak: The quarterback, who spent two seasons with Mizzou before transferring to Indiana and then Bowling Green, is competing to back up Baker Mayfield this season.

Jets' star running back in line for bounce back following down year
At the running back position in the NFL, there is a lot of young talent, alongside a bunch of proven stars. The Jets have a guy in Breece Hall who is right on the cusp of being among the league's best, but will he be there by the end of 2025? Breece Hall is coming off a down year Many expected last season to be a true breakout year for Hall, but it didn't go according to plan. He put up only 876 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground, along with 483 yards and three touchdowns receiving. Credit: Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images In 2023, he cemented himself as a quality back. Hall had right around 1,585 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns, which led to high expectations entering last season. Advertisement Last year, Hall's problems likely came from either his injury concerns with his knee and/or scheme and offensive line problems. While all of those issues are real, Hall just didn't look like himself. Jets hoping for a bounce-back from Hall The Jets are hoping their prized running back bounces back from his down season. The front office, led by new general manager Darren Mougey, put in front of him Hal an offensive line that will certainly help him return to form. This line is vastly improved from last season, as they changed out both tackle spots with two first-round picks: 2024's Olu Fashanu and 2025's Armand Membou. Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images With these two at the tackle position, the Jets know they have an athletic and versatile offensive line. They are able to get out in space and lay blocks, which, for big plays, is extremely important. This will help Hall get to the edge and use his speed to beat people. Advertisement The Jets' receivers also have a different attitude than in previous years, as they have now made it clear that blocking for the back is extremely important. All of this adds up with a new addition in the coaching room in offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand. Hall has everything set up for him to succeed. Barring any health issues, 2025 should be a good year for the Jets' running back. Related Headlines
