In this story:


A new NFL season is upon us, which means a collection of former UCLA Bruins are representing Westwood in the pros.

The Bruins have seven total rookies on NFL rosters ahead of this season, one of them being on the practice squad, adding to an already esteemed list of Bruins occupying positions in the pros. In total, there are 32 former Bruins spread across 22 franchises, 23 of which made the active rosters for the 2025 season.

UCLA has never had a problem developing and producing NFL talent, making it a premier destination for recruits who aspire to make it to the next level after college.

With that being said, let's go through every active Bruin playing on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays this year.
