Here at OleMissSports.com, we are proud to update Rebel fans on the exploits of our former players who lace up their cleats on Sundays in the NFL. Ole Miss has a huge presence in the NFL again this year with 20 former Rebels currently on NFL rosters, including such stars as two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis.
