Interesting article. Does anyone have a similar one for the NFL? I found this one, but it's two years out of date:

I'll have to catch the midweek games as part of TSN's #EHction programming.

If I read this correctly we have one player on an active roster.

Yes, it would seem that Cox is the only one on an active roster in the CFL. In the NFL Carrie and Mitchell are the only ones that come to mind that are on active rosters.

The one thing that you won't find from OHIO on an NFL nor CFL roster is an Olineman or Dlineman. Aside from Landon Cohen catching on with multiple NFL teams as a part-timer, I can't recall any OHIO O or D lineman earning a starting and lasting position on an NFL roster. To me we have just never seemed to be able to recruit and/or produce NFL quality linemen. It smacks of my previous posts that we just always seem to be to be on the "smallish" side when compared to the vast majority of our competition.

You will find however a significant quantity of other MAC schools that do produce O&D Linemen on NFL rosters many of them solid starters.
