Valley Natives: Frank Ginda, LB (Falcons, Pacheco HS), Adrian Martinez, QB (Lions, Clovis West HS), Andre Chachere, S (Cardinals, Clovis West HS)
Those players can still sign with the practice squad which could lead to some playing time later in the season. There are just five former FS players on an active NFL roster:
QB's Derek Carr & Jake Haener with the Saints, Daron Bland (S) with the Cowboys, Davante Adams (WR) with the Raiders and Rivers (RB) with the Rams.
Other locals include Josh Allen (QB), a Firebaugh HS grad on the Bills David Wells (TE), a Clovis North HS grad on the Buccaneers, Jaylon Johnson (CB), a Central HS grad with the Bears and Eric Kendricks (LB), a Hoover HS grad with the Chargers.
