Cal sees 18 former players make NFL 53-man rosters

The NFL cut day came and went this weekend, seeing some teams cut down from upward of 80 players down to the Week 1 limit of 53 players ahead of their first games of the season.

The Pac-12 is well represented at the professional level and with that, we counted down how many athletes landed on NFL rosters from each team.

Cal sported 18 players, behind a few other teams in the Pac-12 but ahead of the Oregon Ducks, which is a small victory with the way the Oregon program has been trending over the past few years.

Here are the Cal players in the NFL for 2020:

Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Tyson Alualu, DE, Pittsburgh Steelers

Bryan Anger, P, Houston Texans

Stephen Anderson, TE, Los Angeles Chargers

Ashtyn Davis, S, New York Jets

Devante Downs, LB, New York Giants

Jared Goff, QB, Los Angeles Rams

Jaylinn Hawkins, S, Atlanta Falcons

DeSean Jackson, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

Marvin Jones Jr., WR, Detroit Lions

Cameron Jordan, DE, New Orleans Saints

J.P. Ladouceur, LS, Dallas Cowboys

Patrick Laird, RB, Miami Dolphins

Alex Mack, C, Atlanta Falcons

Patrick Mekari, OL, Baltimore Ravens

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

Mitchell Schwartz, OT, Kansas City

Nick Sundberg, LS, Washington Football Team

That’s a lotta former Bears standing out across the nation. And in a lotta important positions.
