BYU has at least one player in the NFL at every position except defensive end, and while BYU doesn't have a true tight end in the NFL, Taysom Hill is listed as a tight end in a hybrid role. Quality is more impressive than quantity.
Fred Warner is considered one of the best linebackers in the league. Warner has been a key part of the San Francisco defense for the past few years. Kyle Van Noy continues to be a major player in the league as an edge rusher for the Baltimore Ravens.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua broke the rookie receiving record in his first season with the Los Angeles Rams.
Tyler Allgaier and Jamaal Williams rushed for 1,000 yards in 2022.
With Kedon Slovis now in the NFL, BYU will have three former quarterbacks on its roster in Zach Wilson, Jalen Hall and Kedon Slovis.
