Missouri has had plenty of representation throughout the history of the NFL, dating back to the inaugural 1920 season, when Bill Preston suited up for the World Champion Akron Pros. Fast forward to 2024 and over the course of that time period, over 230 Tigers are listed in Pro Football Reference’s database.
That number will expand this year as realistically, six Tigers from this past season’s Cotton Bowl squad, Cody Schrader, Darius Robinson, Ennis Rakestraw Jr., Javon Foster, Kris Abrams-Draine. and Ty’Ron Hopper, could all hear their names called during the NFL Draft. Harrison Mevis and JC Carlies are also possible late-round draft selections.
