AFC North

Cincinnati

Washington Huskies career passing leader Jake Browning still can’t find his way onto the field in the NFL. This is his second season on the Bengals practice squad.

Drew Sample is now in his fourth NFL season. He started the first two games of the season but suffered a knee injury in the third. He’s likely done for 2022.

Baltimore

Marcus Peters, who missed last season because of an injury, returned this year in the second game of the season. This year, the three-time Pro Bowl corner has 14 tackles, 4 passes defended, an interception, a forced fumble, and a sack.

Cleveland

After spending two years as a backup, Nick Harris was expected to be the Cleveland Browns’ starting center in 2022. Unfortunately, a knee injury in the first preseason game will keep him out of action for the season.

AFC West

Denver

Versatile offensive lineman Luke Wattenberg was drafted this year by Denver in the fifth round. Currently the Broncos’ backup center, he got into one play during the season opener in Seattle.

Kansas City

K.C. Drafted former Huskies’ number one defender, cornerback Trent McDuffie in the first round by this year. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring in the opener. Now on the IR, it looks like he’ll stay there through Week 7.

Danny Shelton, who was a first-round pick in 2015 by the Cleveland Browns, has bounced around the league playing for three other teams in three years. He signed with the Chiefs during the off-season. They released Shelton at the end of training camp, then re-signed him to the practice squad.

There are no Washington Huskies alumni on either Las Vegas or the L.A. Chargers.

 

AFC East

Miami

The Miami Dolphins have two former Huskies on their team, running backs Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Now behind Raheem Mostert and Chase Edmonds, both have struggled to get any consistent playing time this season.

Gaskin has only 4 carries for 9 yards and 3 catches for 26 yards, all coming in Game 5. Ahmed has no touches and plays only on special teams. He’s out of action with a back injury.

New England

Defensive back Myles Bryant signed an undrafted free agent contract with the New England Patriots in 2020. He had to fight injuries and spent time on the Pats practice squad before his elevation to the main roster.

Perseverance paid off, as Bryant is now New England’s top nickelback. So far, he has 20 tackles and a fumble recovery in 2022.

Neither Buffalo nor the NY Jets have any Husky alumni.
