Syracuse Football: A look at Orange alums on NFL rosters after cut-down day

The NFL roster cut-down day brought mixed news for former Syracuse Orange players. While there is still over a week until the regular season starts, here are the Syracuse players who landed spots on the 53-man rosters:

Matthew Bergeron- Atlanta Falcons (Starting RG)

Andre Cisco- Jacksonville Jaguars (Starting S)

Nolan Cooney- Arizona Cardinals (Starting P)

Riley Dixon- Denver Broncos (Starting P)

Zaire Franklin- Indianapolis Colts (Starting LB)

Kinglsey Jonathan- Buffalo Bills (Backup DE)

Chandler Jones- Las Vegas Raiders (Starting LB)

Ifeatu Melifonwu- Detroit Lions (Backup CB)

Sean Tucker- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (RB2)

It’s great to see more recent Syracuse players finding their way onto rosters and it might not be long before two rookies are in starting roles.
