Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NFL - 2025

[GopherGuy82]

THIS thread is what it's all about it. This is what these recruits want to see and what they care about. This is the best marketing PJ could ask for. We have guys at every position group playing meaningful downs across the league, guys who weren't even our "stars" when they were here. Been a long time coming boys. The boat is picking up speed.

Your second to last sentence says it all. I recall seeing guys from Iowa and Wisconsin in the NFL and was like who, only to realize they weren't a star player in college. It's great to see the depth of Gophers making plays in the NFL now. Speaks volumes to the talent and development.

Can’t teach speed. He runs well for his size.

Reads the play well and take good angles to ball as well!!

Coughlin?

Coughlin?

Seemingly was on the Giants practice squad last year but nothing recently. Doesn't seem like he's been on a team unless I'm missing something.

Great news for Striggow also! Excited for him to make the 53!

Sad for Jah, Cody, Ethan, and DJax….

DJax and Cody I can see, but I thought Jah be signed.

 

[TNGophfan]

Some will be signed to practice squads.
