A look at Jayhawks in the NFL
MORNING BREW
Even though the football team is still searching for its first Big 12 victory of the season, the program has a history of sending players to the NFL. Kansas has three players in the NFL Hall of Fame and nine players currently playing in the league. While most of those are bench players, three continue to excel.
AQIB TALIB
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Although he's been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, the cornerback, who played three years in college, is a starting defensive back for the Bucs. In his college career, Talib recorded 162 tackles, 13 interceptions and two defensive touchdowns. According to nfl.com, Talib played in 15 games as a rookie, recording 23 tackles and four interceptions. In 2009, Talib started for the Bucs. During the season, he had 64 tackles and five
interceptions. Through seven games, the four-year veteran has 19 tackles and one interception. Talib is a solid defensive back and will be in the future.
DEZMON BRISCOE
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Briscoe was a deadly wide receiver as a Jayhawk. His 6-foot-2 frame made defending him difficult, and he was quick as well. In his three-year tenure, the playmaking receiver collected 219 receptions, 3,240 yards and 31 touchdowns. Briscoe also averaged 15 yards per catch.
Briscoe hasn't had the same success as Talib, but the talented wide receiver continues to receive more playing time. According to nfl.com, Briscoe only played in two games as a rookie, catching six passes for 93 yards and scoring once. In his second year, he has played in all seven games. Briscoe has 16 receptions for 196 yards and one touchdown. The Bucs latest game was against the Chicago Bears and Briscoe had six receptions for 73 yards and one score.
Dezmon Briscoe is still adjusting to the league, but in his second year, he is a solid option as a number three wide receiver.
Harris had a tougher hill to climb. Briscoe and Talib were drafted, but Harris made the Broncos squad as an undrafted free agent. He also had to deal
CHRIS HARRIS
DENVER BRONCOS
with the lockout during the summer, making it even more difficult to succeed.
In his four years at college, Harris recorded 290 total tackles and three interceptions. Harris' total tackles rank third among Kansas defensive backs all-time. As a rookie, Harris continues to impress the Broncos. He recorded his first career start against the Detroit Lions Sunday. Harris also recorded his career high, leading the team with nine tackles.
Making the NFL as a rookie is one thing, but to become a starter and succeed as an undrafted free agent is another.
With the recent struggles in Kansas football, it is hard to remember these players, but these three Jayhawks will continue to soar in the NFL for many years to come.
