State to Sundays: List of Every Former Mississippi State Talent Currently in the NFL
Mississippi State continues to be one of the top programs in the country when it comes to sending talent to the NFL, as reflected by the fact that MSU currently leads all SEC schools in starts per player over the past five years.
In 2022, there are a number of Bulldogs looking to make a statement in their first year in the NFL.
In April's draft, former MSU offensive tackle Charles Cross was selected with the No. 9 pick in the first round by the Seattle Seahawks, making Cross the 15th Bulldog to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
The Cleveland Browns also selected explosive defensive back Martin Emerson with the No. 68 pick. Wideout Makai Polk went undrafted, but eventually signed with the Baltimore Ravens.
All three former Bulldogs were impact players during their time in the maroon and white, and hope to carry their success to Sundays.
