Davante Adams and Derek Carr have been the best-known Fresno State products in the NFL for nearly a decade.
But who else from Fresno State is in an NFL training camp this week?
There are a total of 15 Bulldogs either guaranteed a roster spot or hoping to make the cut.
Carr is now with the New Orleans Saints after nine seasons with the Raiders, and he’ll be joined by rookie Jake Haener, another former Bulldog, in the Saints quarterback room.
In addition, defensive back DaRon Bland returns to the Dallas Cowboys after leading them with five interceptions last season as a rookie. And, Jalen Moreno-Cropper will attempt to carve out a spot with the Cowboys as a wide receiver and special teams player.
