The 2020 NFL season kicks off this week with 16 UCF Knights on pro rosters, with another three locking in practice squad spots.
Former UCF defensive end Bruce Miller, who now plays fullback, is arguably the biggest preseason NFL surprise. Miller earned a spot on the Jacksonville Jaguars 53-man roster after spending four years outside of the league due to off-the-field legal issues.
Running back Latavius Murray and receiver Tre’Quan Smith remain members of the New Orleans Saints roster, competing for a team pushing to reach the Super Bowl.
Shaquill Griffin is a starting cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks, another team that believes it has championship-caliber talent.
