Which NFL team has the most former Auburn players on its roster?
NFL teams have 46 players from Auburn working in their offseason programs. Last season, 32 Auburn alumni played in at least one NFL regular-season game.
The Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets lead the NFL with four former Auburn players apiece on their offseason rosters. The Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans have three each.
Eight NFL teams do not have a former Auburn player on their rosters – the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
By Wednesday, every NFL team will have entered Phase 3 of its offseason program. In the portion of offseason practice formally called Organized Team Activities, or OTAs, teams are allowed to hold 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, although contact work remains prohibited.
By June 20, every team will have completed its offseason work, and the summer break will be underway in the NFL until training camps convene.
