There are several hotbeds in the NFL that feature and have featured numerous Syracuse football alum over the years:
- Indianapolis Colts
- Tim Vesting
- Bob Brotzki
- Blaise Winter
- New York Giants
- George Rooks
- Jerry Kimmel
And now the Arizona Cardinals!
While the Cardinals don’t share the rich history that the Colts and Giants do with the Orange, it seems like the desert could soon be heading in that direction.
On the 2019 squad there is three former SU alum that are on the Cardinals:
- Chandler Jones, DE/OLB
- Justin Pugh, OL
- Dontae Strickland, RB
Former Syracuse kicker Cole Murphy won a kicking competition and signed with Arizona during the offseason but was later released.
