Bulldogs in NFL: When former Mississippi State players suit up in Week 18

With one week remaining in the NFL regular season, the postseason picture is already clear for several Mississippi State alumni, while others will see their seasons come to an end.

Denico Autry (Texans), Logan Cooke (Jaguars), Montez Sweat (Bears), Charles Cross (Seahawks) and Emmanuel Forbes (Rams) have all clinched spots in the NFL playoffs.

That list could grow depending on the outcome of the NFC South race, but Mississippi State is guaranteed to add at least one more Bulldog to the postseason field, either Jaden Crumedy with the Panthers or JT Gray with the Buccaneers.
