There are 14 former Oregon Ducks on active rosters in the 2025 NFL Playoffs. From Bo Nix and Justin Herbert who are the starting quarterbacks of their squads to Penei Sewell who was named as the league's Polynesian Pro Football Player of the Year, the Ducks are dominating at the professional level.
Marcus Mariota, Oregon's only ever Heisman winner, may backup rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels for the Washington Commanders but the former Duck helped lead his team to a win in their final regular season game to clinch their spot in the Playoffs.
Bucky Irving has already become a star, during his rookie season, as he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in rushing yards and touchdowns on the ground.
The NFL Playoffs will begin at 1:30 p.m. PT on Jan. 11 when Herbert, Troy Dye, and the Chargers take on Jamal Hill and the Houston Texans. Sewell and the Detroit Lions have a first-round bye alongside the Kansas City Chiefs.
