South Dakotans in the NFL, Week 9
SIOUX FALLS — Two more former Jackrabbits have been added to South Dakota’s NFL roll call over the last two weeks.
Quarterback Chris Oladokun was added to the Chiefs’ practice squad, while former Jackrabbit tackle Garret Greenfield signed to the Giants practice squad.
Oladokun spent the previous two seasons in that same role with Kansas City, earning a pair of Super Bowl rings, but was released after preseason this year. Now he’s back with the Chiefs, behind perennial MVP-candidate Patrick Mahomes and North Dakota State alum Carson Wentz.
Greenfield, an All-American tackle at SDSU, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seahawks, joined their practice squad, but was later released. He’s now getting a chance with the Giants.
Meanwhile among the active former Jacks in the NFL, linebacker Christian Rozeboom continues to have a productive fourth season in the league. Rozeboom notched 11 tackles in Sunday’s overtime win over the Seahawks, the third time this season he’s reached double digits. He leads the Rams with 65 tackles on the season, which is good for 21st in the league overall.
