Reports: Inside Look of Former Rutgers players That Made The NFL Active Roster For 2024 Season

Here’s a look at where former Rutgers football players landed after the deadline:

SURVIVED CUTS
Isiah Pacheco (Chiefs)
Kansas City has retained its starting running back, who has won two Super Bowl titles in his first two NFL seasons.

Christian Izien (Buccaneers)
The defensive back, who started as a rookie last season, is set to play another year in a key role.

The wide receiver scored a touchdown in Green Bay’s preseason finale. He tweeted, “3rd year in the league, 1st time making the team. Blessings.”

The longest-tenured Scarlet Knight in the NFL is returning for another year.
