UConn Huskies in the NFL

With NFL cutdown day happening last Friday night, seven former members of the UConn Huskies football team found themselves out of a job. But with teams filling up their practice squads starting on Saturday afternoon, three of the seven found themselves on practice squads.

They are: 

  • Marcus Easley, Buffalo Bills
  • Kashif Moore, Indianapolis Colts
  • Jordan Todman, Minnesota Vikings

Note: Darius Butler, who was released by the Carolina Panthers, cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve by the team. He has since negotiated an injury settlement with the team and has been released from injured reserve.

Easley was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 4th round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He missed the entire 2011 season with a heart ailment.

Kashif Moore went undrafted in 2012 and signed a free agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was cut by the Bengals last week but was picked up by the Colts.

Todman was a 6th round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers in 2011 and made the team but was waived in mid-October. Three days later he joined the Chargers practice squad. He was signed off the practice squad of the Chargers by the Vikings before the final NFL regular season game but was inactive.
