A total of 14 Arizona State Sun Devils have found their way into the NFL as of this week with many of them on active rosters.
The latest to find himself on an NFL roster is defensive back Damarious Randall, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday.
ASU players continue to make a notable presence in the league as they head into Week 4, so here’s a look at the potential impact players.
Damarious Randall
Randall signed with the Seahawks practice squad on Wednesday. The Seahawks are suffering significant injuries in their secondary heading into Week 4 and Randall is a good candidate to be elevated in order to fill in the gaps.
Brandon Aiyuk
The first-year receiver was able to get more touches for the San Francisco 49ers this past Sunday against the New York Giants. Aiyuk had 70 receiving yards and added one rushing touchdown, his first as a pro. His versatility in the running and receiving game makes him a good target for backup quarterback Nick Mullens if starter Jimmy Garoppolo is not healthy Sunday.
How about this rookie?!

Zane Gonzalez
RELATED STORIES
The Arizona Cardinals kicker only had one field goal attempt on Sunday. He made the 54-yard field goal to start the third quarter. Gonzalez also missed one of three extra point attempts this past Sunday as Arizona fell to the Detroit Lions.
Gonzalez is 5-of-7 for field goals this season.
D.J. Foster
Foster remains on the Cardinals’ practice squad injured reserve list after suffering a quad injury in Week 2.
Lawrence Guy
The defensive end had five total tackles last Sunday for the New England Patriots, adding to his tackle total of 11 so far this season.
N’Keal Harry
Guy’s teammate had the least amount of yards so far this season on Sunday against the Raiders. He had 34 receiving yards on two catches and was targeted just four times a week after receiving 12 targets from quarterback Cam Newton. Harry also rushed once for two yards in a Patriots win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Matt Haack
The Miami Dolphins’ Haack punted four times on Sunday, averaging 41 yards. His longest was 47 yards, with two of the four punts falling inside the 20. The Dolphins got their first win on Sunday against Jacksonville.
Kalen Ballage
The New York Jets running back recorded only had two catches for 11 yards in Week 4’s Thursday Night Football opener, a 37-28 loss to the Broncos.
Ballage had two rushing attempts for eight yards in Week 3’s loss to the Colts. The running back did, however, have a season high of five receptions for a total of 44 yards.
Jamil Douglas
Douglas suffered a hand injury during preseason and made his season debut Sunday against the Vikings. He played seven snaps on special teams.
Tommy Hudson
Hudson, an undrafted rookie tight end, was one of numerous Tennessee Titans players who tested positive for COVID-19. Hudson was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list following the positive test this week. The Titans have postponed their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers to take place in Week 7 after 14 players and staffers combined have come down with the virus.
Sun Devils who have yet to play
Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Renell Wren suffered a right quad injury in practice in August and remains on the injured reserve list.
Other Sun Devil alum who have yet to be activated this season include RB Eno Benjamin (Arizona Cardinals), OL Quinn Bailey (Denver Broncos) and OL Cohl Cabral (Los Angeles Rams).
