Washington Huskies Alumni in the NFL – AFC September

AFC East
Buffalo Bills
There are no Washington Huskies alumni on the Buffalo Bills roster in 2021.
New York Jets
Gang Green doesn’t have anyone from UW on their team either. But is that a bad thing?
Miami Dolphins
Miami has a pair of running backs on their roster from UW that will get a good amount of playing time. The first is Myles Gaskin. A seventh-round pick in 2019, he is now the Fins starter. In Miami’s first two games (both losses), Gaskin picked up 74 yards on 14 carries (5.3 yards-per-carry) along with 9 catches for 48 yards. So far, he has yet to find the end zone.
The other back is Salvon Ahmed, who came out early after his junior season (2019) at Washington. The undrafted free agent is third on Miami’s depth chart. He has 45 combined yards in 2021.
New England Patriots
Myles Bryant signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent last year. He began the 2020 season on New England’s practice squad but got a promotion to the main roster and played in nine games. The DB totaled ten tackles and hauled in an interception. The defensive back didn’t make Bill Belichick’s opening day roster this year either and is back on the Pats practice squad again.
