Minnesota Football: Gophers in the NFL—Post Preseason Edition

We started with 23 former Gophers in NFL training camps as the preseason got underway. Some were cut early in camp, some made it all the way to the final cut date, and some are safely on an active 53-man roster as the NFL season is set to begin next week. Below is a recap of all the roster transactions and where the former Gophers currently sit, whether it be an active roster, a practice squad, or sitting out on the free agent market awaiting a phone call.

Gophers on an Active 53-man Roster at of 9/2/22

Antoine Winfield Jr—CB

Ko Kieft—TE

The Bucs will have a pair of Gophers on their roster this fall as obviously Antoine Winfield, Jr will start at safety for the Buccaneers and they decided that Ko Kieft had done enough blocking of everybody to earn a 4th TE spot on the roster.
