Notable Wildcat alumni in the NFL

The Arizona football program has produced a number of successful professionals in the last decade, most notably recent Super Bowl winners Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots and Philadelphia’s very own miracle worker Nick Foles.

Gronkowski notched his 500th career reception during week six of the 2018 NFL regular season, becoming the 17th tight end to ever do so.

Foles returned to his behind-the-scenes role for the Eagles after leading the defending Super Bowl champs to a 1-1 record while franchise quarterback Carson Wentz finished rehab from his ACL injury suffered late last season.

Foles and Gronkowski have evolved into the face of Arizona football at the next level, but they’re not the only Wildcats that have carved out respectable careers in the NFL.
