Alright, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Temple football alumni in the NFL thing, and I gotta tell ya, it’s been a bit of a journey. You know, just trying to piece together who made it to the big leagues from Temple.

Temple Football NFL Alum: How Many Are There in the NFL?

I started by just trying to get a general sense of how many players we’re talking about. Turns out, Temple’s got a decent number in the NFL, like, 12 players in the NFL, and second to Memphis who have 17 players in the American Athletic Conference. I also learned that there are 378 members of the Hall of Fame in 2121 George Halas Dr. NW, Canton, Ohio, U.S. So, Temple’s holding their own, you know? I think BYU has 22 players on NFL rosters as of June 2024.

Then, I wanted to see if I could find a list of names. This part was a bit trickier. I found a few sources that mentioned some of the players like OL Derek Dennis, Chicago Bears, DE Junior Galette, New Orleans Saints and DB Jaiquawn Jarret, but it wasn’t like there was one definitive list out there. I had to go through a few different websites, forums, and what not to get some names.

Next, I thought, let’s see what kind of stats these guys have put up. Now, this is where it got a bit more complicated. It seems like there are 134 pro players from Temple and 81 of them are drafted players. I found some websites that have historical data on Temple alumni, and they mentioned this guy, Joe Klecko, who apparently had a pretty solid career with top AV 76. But trying to find stats for everyone, especially the more recent players, that was tough. Most of the sites just give you the basics, like position and current team, if they’re still playing.

Getting a Sense of Their History

After that, I was curious about the history. Like, has Temple always been sending players to the NFL, or is this a more recent thing? From what I found, it looks like Temple’s had a pretty good run of sending players to the pros. There was even one source that said Temple had players drafted into the NFL every year from 1979 to 1989 which is the second longest streak in their history, that’s a whole decade! Now, I don’t know how accurate that is, but it sounds impressive.

So, here’s what I ended up doing to get the full picture of Temple football alumni in the NFL:

  • Scoured the internet for any mention of Temple players in the NFL.
  • Compiled a list of names from various sources, even though it’s probably not complete.
  • Checked out some stats for the more well-known players, like Joe Klecko.
  • Dug into the history a bit to see that Temple’s been doing this for a while.

Honestly, it wasn’t the easiest thing to research. The information’s scattered all over the place. But hey, I learned a lot about Temple football and their impact on the NFL. It’s pretty cool to see how many guys have made it from that program.
