The Wildcats have a number of professional prospects, especially on the defensive side of the ball
Last year, two former Northwestern Wildcats were drafted: safety Ibraheim Campbell went to Cleveland and Trevor Siemian was taken by the Denver Broncos with the third-to-last pick in the draft but is currently the lone backup to starter Brock Osweiler as Peyton Mannign is injured.
The Wildcats, however, boast few alumni in the NFL. But that could be changing somewhat soon. On the heels of a 10-2 season, Northwestern boasts a ridiculous amount of talent on defense, and there are even a couple guys on offense that could make an NFL squad.
