Purdue players on NFL opening-day rosters

[rgarlitz]

This is the only list I could find, but I don't know if it reflects final cuts and other roster moves this weekend. Does anybody know if any other former Boilers made NFL teams?

R. Allen, Atlanta
J. Bentley, New England
D. Brees, New Orleans
A. Brown, Dallas
G. Holmes, Arizona
D. Kelly, Tennessee
R. Kerrigan, Washington
R. Mostert, San Francisco
K. Pamphile, Tennessee
K. Short, Carolina

Austin Larkin was reportedly close to making roster in Dallas and could end up on someone’s PS

Also Eddy Wilson could also make a PS

Gabe Holmes? Wow. Wouldn't have guessed that.

I agree.I am glad for Gabe,but I never thought he would make it in the NFL.

Any chance that Akeem Hunt will sign with anyone? He had some good moments for KC last year, as I recall.

Gabe Holmes? Wow. Wouldn't have guessed that.

It looks like he bounced around a couple teams' practice squads for a few years before being picked up by Arizona last year. He spent most of the year on their practice squad but was promoted to the active roster toward the end of the season.

It's great to see a guy like that get his shot.
