NFL teams finalized 53-man active rosters this week, confirming the status of several former Ole Miss players across the league. Twenty-six players from the university appear on current NFL rosters, with wide receivers forming the largest position group at eight players. The Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals lead all organizations by housing three former Rebels apiece.
