Most casual fans likely don’t know when the official cut day is for NFL teams to trim their rosters down to 53 active players. Due to the insanity that is college football, TROs and certain programs, more people might have been tuned in this season.
Most Rebel fans likely know where Jaxson Dart, AJ Brown and DK Metcalf are at these days, but we need to check in on all our former Rebs, especially the rookies who made teams out of camp.

So the Colts and Cardinals tie for the most former Rebs with three apiece. While each team in the NFC East has at least one former Ole Miss player, there is no representation at all in the NFC North. Of the 26 NFL Rebs at the moment, the largest position group is wide receiver with eight. There are seven(ish) defensive lineman. Some rosters show Ivey and Umanmielen as linebackers.
Tomorrow we will go over those who did not make the 53 man rosters and see who has landed on which practice squads.
