On Sunday, NFL teams announced their final roster cuts before opening week, and six former Georgia Southern players made their respective rosters.
The number is a record for the program as three rookies joined three veteran former Eagles in the league.
The Rookies
Matt Breida made the cut in San Francisco, where some experts say he may even be the No. 2 back behind veteran Carlos Hyde. Breida was undrafted but impressed the staff in the Bay Area in training camp and throughout the preseason.
Congrats to Matt Breida for making the @49ers initial 53-man roster!
