5 best former FSU football players currently in the NFL
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football has a large number of former players still getting it done in the NFL. Who are the five best currently playing?
FSU football has over 30 players on NFL rosters are as free agents with a solid shot to sign with a team.
That shouldn’t be surprising considering the Noles have had some of the best-recruiting classes in the nation over the past decade.
The Noles will likely add to that number whenever the NFL Draft takes place as Cam Akers and Stanford Samuels III were invited to the NFL Combine.
A couple of other former Noles like Keith Gavin, Levonta Taylor, and Dontavious Jackson could find themselves on NFL rosters before it’s all said and done.
The Noles have had 11 first-round draft picks and 13 other players selected in either the second or third rounds.
They’ve had numerous Pro Bowl selections in that time frame, so that got me thinking who are the six best former Noles in the NFL?
Since it was hard to narrow it down, here are a few players that just missed the cut.
Just Missed The Cut
- Brian Burns-Carolina Panthers
- Lamarcus Joyner-Las Vegas Raiders
- Xavier Rhodes-Indianapolis Colts
- Eddie Goldman-Chicago Bears
- Vince Williams-Pittsburgh Steelers
