Mizzou in the NFL: When Tiger Pros Will Square off Against Each Other

The 2025-26 NFL schedule has officially been released and there is plenty of Missouri Tigers representation sprinkled throughout it.

There are currently 25 former Tigers on NFL rosters following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL draft, many of whom look set to make 53-man rosters at the start of this coming season. With that amount of alumni in the NFL, there are bound to be matchups between former players.

An influx of Missouri athletes was added to the NFL for this coming season after the draft's conclusion, both in the draft and as undrafted free agents. The highest selected of those players was offensive tackle Armand Membou, who was picked up by the New York Jets with the seventh overall pick.

After him, it was wide receiver Luther Burden III, who was added to the Chicago Bears' roster early in the second round. Offensive tackle Marcus Bryant was the only other Tiger to get selected in this year's draft, going in the seventh round to the New England Patriots.

Five other Missouri alumni were added to NFL rosters as free agents following the draft. They will compete for roster spots, like everyone else, during the offseason.

Below is a list of which teams the former Tigers are playing on and when they will face off against other former Missouri players.
