Former Missouri football left tackle Yasir Durant is going back to the NFL, joining the growing list of Tigers headed to the professional ranks this offseason.
Durant has signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots after a head-turning season in the UFL, according to MLFootball. Durant is rejoining the Patriots after winning the UFL championship title with the D.C. Defenders as a starter.
New England now has two former Tigers vying for left tackle. The Patriots selected Marcus Bryant, who spent his senior year at Mizzou, in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
