Green joins fellow former Bulldog – defensive end Denico Autry – on the Indianapolis active roster. As for Hoyett, he'll have multiple former Bulldogs on the sideline with him in the form of Kansas City linebacker Willie Gay, Jr., and defensive tackle Chris Jones. Thomas is the lone Cardinal that was a former Bulldog.
