UTSA to the NFL: From Underdog to Under Centre?
You might know the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers, heck, maybe even the Jacksonville Jaguars (no shade, Duval!). But have you heard of the UTSA Roadrunners? This college football team from San Antonio, Texas, is like the chill younger sibling of the NFL. But hey, little siblings can grow up to be superstars, right? So, the question begs asking: How many UTSA players are actually tearing it up in the NFL?
From the Alamodome to the Big Leagues: It's a Numbers Game (with a Dash of Fun Facts)
Here's the truth, folks: UTSA's a young program, only joining the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) in 2011. That means they haven't had decades to churn out NFL talent like some of those established schools. But listen up, because UTSA is on the rise. Their recent Pro Day [what's a Pro Day? Imagine a combine, but way cooler, because it's at your own school!] saw seven Roadrunners showcase their skills for NFL scouts. That's seven potential future stars!
Now, how many UTSA players are ACTUALLY in the NFL right now? Well, that number isn't in the triple digits...yet. But there are some talented Roadrunners making a name for themselves. We're talking guys like Marcus Davenport, a fearsome defensive end who's been with the New Orleans Saints since 2018, and Sincere McCormick, a running back with the Arizona Cardinals who's got moves that would make Barry Sanders jealous.
UTSA: The NFL's Secret Weapon (or at Least They're Working on It)
So, while UTSA might not be overflowing with NFL veterans just yet, here's the exciting part: They're building something special. With their strong coaching staff and a growing reputation for producing NFL-caliber talent, the future is bright for the Roadrunners. Who knows, maybe one day we'll see a UTSA quarterback leading his team to the Super Bowl. Now that would be a story for the ages!
In the meantime, keep an eye on UTSA. These Roadrunners are fast, fierce, and they're coming for your NFL dreams! (Okay, maybe not your dreams, but they'll definitely be exciting to watch.)
