A wealth of Trojans in the League

| 1 Comment

NFL teams made their 53-man roster cuts this week, and an astounding 37 USC alumni will be playing on Sundays this fall.

Ten Trojans were cut from training camp rosters, leaving at least one Trojan on 26 of the 32 teams. All 37 players who survived the cuts are from the Pete Carroll Era (2001-present).

The positions most represented by the Trojans in the League? Seven USC linebackers and seven Trojan defensive linemen are playing as pros this fall.

Billy Miller wasn't cut, he was placed on Injured Reserve.

Thanks for the list. It's fun to keep track of Trojans.
