Washington Huskies Alumni in NFL – October 2022
NFC East
There aren’t any former Washington Huskies on the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles.
NFC North
Chicago
In the 2022 draft, Chicago selected defensive back Kyler Gordon in the second round. That pick is starting to pay off.
Now the Bears starting nickelback Gordon has elevated his game since leaving the Washington Huskies. He is fourth on the team with 37 tackles and has played nearly every defensive snap.
Wide receiver Dante Pettis is trying to resurrect his career in Chicago. The former second round pick of San Francisco (2018) has a pair of touchdown receptions.

Detroit
Levi Onwuzurike, a defensive tackle drafted second round last year by the Detroit Lions, is on injured reserve. Detroit initially thought that Onwuzurike would return in game 5; however, his back injury hasn’t progressed enough for him to play.
Green Bay and Minnesota have no former Washington Huskies on their squads.
Lions second round pick, DT Levi Onwuzurike:
"I like f—ing people up. I like to get off the line and put my helmet and hands on an offensive lineman and f— up an offensive scheme. I like pushing them back two, three yards and just making them feel like s—." pic.twitter.com/9bqtp6AnOe
