Former Aggie Vigil highlights new locals on NFL rosters

It's not easy making a 53-man NFL roster as an undrafted free agent, but three local college football players have defied the odds.

Former Utah State standout linebacker Zach Vigil went undrafted in last April's NFL draft. But his dream of playing pro football will continue as a member of the Miami Dolphins after NFL teams announced their 53-man rosters Saturday.

Vigil joins eight other Aggies on NFL rosters ahead of Thursday's opener. Vigil is only the second Utah State linebacker currently in the league, alongside Seattle Seahawks standout Bobby Wagner, though reports indicate he will likely see most of his time with the Dolphins on special teams.
