Current Gophers in NFL (currently 13)

Been awhile since I've done this. LMK any missing players or incorrect info.

NOTES:

For this list U of M has to be the last college the player played for. This is how the NFL tracks players alumni.

Wonder how close Woz is to his goal of 300 lbs by start of season...

How many of these guys are "in" the NFL, simply because they're currently at a camp? That's what this list includes, is that correct?

It's no small feat to be invited to a fall camp, of course. Good on all of them. Just wondering how many are likely to end up on non-practice squad rosters at the start of the season?

In my opinion - Travis, Celestin, Richardson, Wozniak have little/no shot of being on the active roster. I could see all of them on a practice squad. Santoso sounds like he has a 50/50 shot. Sherels is probably 75/25 depending how camp shakes out. The rest are all locks/near locks to be on the 53-man on opening day.

Any chance someone gives Hageman a shot? Or is he toast now because of the previous domestic violence charges, and now DWI this summer?

That, plus he got clipped for a DUI this June. He seems to be reverting to earlier patterns of poor decision-making. That, coupled with the fact that he was good, but not good enough to deal with his baggage, makes it pretty unlikely in my estimation.
