Today the 2015 NFL season kicks off in full and Purdue is down to just 12 former Boilermakers still kicking around in the league. Several long-time veterans have seen their careers end and even some of the more recent players have already been flushed out of the league. It looked like a few rookies that received some UFA invites would have a chance, but only two rookies will make their debut.
So here are the 12 Boilermakers left standing:
Drew Brees - Quarterback - New Orleans Saints - Most likely, by the end of the season Brees will become the fourth quarterback in NFL history to pass for 60,000 yards.
