Ducks Across The Pond: Oregon Football Players Set for International NFL Games

Several Pro Ducks are set to fly across the pond, or at least the border, for international NFL games.

Offensive lineman Jake Hanson and the New York Jets will battle the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Oct. 5. That Vikings roster includes veteran tight end Johnny Mundt and rookies cornerback Khyree Jackson and defensive lineman Taki Taimani. The Vikings selected Jackson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In his sole season for the Ducks he started all 12 games and led the team with three interceptions. Prior to Oregon, Jackson played for Alabama and Fort Scott Community College.

Sticking around in London for another week, Sewell and the Jaguars will go across town to Wembley Stadium and face off with cornerback Christian Gonzalez and the New England Patriots. This will be Jacksonville's 13th international game, far outpacing the Miami Dolphins who are next with six.. He was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month in September. Heading into 2024, Gonzalez is going back to his Oregon roots and is being allowed to wear the No. 0.

Cota has yet to appear in an NFL game after going undrafted in 2023. Last year, he signed with the Detroit Lions but was ultimately waived, leading to practice squad stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans. Cota signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants in January. Thibodeaux is entering his third year in the league. The 2022 fifth overall pick was 12th in the NFL last year with 11.5 sacks. He has 91 total tackles and 15.5 sacks over 31 career games.
