How to watch these former BYU players in the NFL preseason – Deseret News

  • by admin

The NFL season is coming and it will be full of BYU products.

Currently, during training camp, there are 18 former Cougars (including four rookies) on the NFL roster, with at least 13 of them likely seeing major action in the next three weeks of pre-season exhibitions.

There are many plots. Tyler Batty, Jakob Robinson, Caleb Etienne and Darius Lassiter are working on making the final lineup after they are not drafted. Kedon Slovis is fighting for the Texans’ QB3 job. Kingsley Suamataia hopes to take the new position as Kansas City left-back.
