BUFFALO, NY - With the NFL season kicking off this weekend, four former University at Buffalo football players find themselves on NFL rosters. Khalil Mack is in Chicago and Mason Schreck is in Cincinnati. In addition, Demone Harris is on Tampa Bay's practice squad and Kristian Sokoli is on the injured reserve list for the Giants.
Mack made headlines in the offseason when he was traded from the Oakland Raiders to the Chicago Bears. The All-Pro defensive end immediately signed a contract extension to become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. Over his four-year career, Mack has been a three-time Pro Bowl selection and was the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
