NFL Preseason Week 1: UCLA Football Alumni Updates

The Bruins throughout the league got the ball rolling on the 2021 season this weekend.

The games didn't count, but it was the first in-game action of the year for the 32 UCLA football alumni on active NFL rosters as of Sunday. Not all of them got out on the field, and even those who did weren't guaranteed to make an impact on the stat sheet. Still, with a shortened preseason schedule as a result of the additional week of the regular season, putting up good performances in the high-profile scrimmages is as important as ever – with either playing time or a job on the line.
