Which former Syracuse football players made the cut for 53-man NFL rosters?

Just as the Syracuse Orange are finalizing the 2021 football depth chart, former Syracuse players are also learning their respective fates in the NFL. After years of what felt like declining levels of Orange football players at the pro level, it finally appears like those numbers are ticking back up.

So below is a quick list of the Syracuse players that you’ll likely be seeing on the field this year as NFL teams have trimmed rosters to 53 teams less than two weeks before the 2021 regular season gets started.

  • Made roster: DE Chandler Jones, OT Justin Pugh
  • Cut: OT Koda Martin

The Cards have quietly become “Syracuse West” as Arizona had three Orange players on the roster in preseason and seems to be down to two with Koda Martin potentially cut.
