The NFL season has officially landed. No more mock drafts, no more preseason holdouts (for the most part), and no more talking heads spouting off projections about the Dallas Cowboys and/or Aaron Rodgers. In my best slightly modified Herm Edwards impression (you know, the version of him before he got Arizona State put on probation): It’s Time. To Play. The Game. And the 2023 rendition of the most popular sports league in America opens Week 1 with 17 former Kentucky Wildcats on active rosters.
After 25 or so ‘Cats participated in the preseason, a slew of roster cuts whittled this list down to just 17 for the start of the games that count.
