Jahri Evans
On April 30, 2006 the New Orleans Saints selected  Bloomsburg offensive tackle Jahri Evans (left) in the fourth round (108th overall) in the NFL draft. Evans was the first Bloomsburg player to be drafted since 1992, when Eric Jonassen was selected in the fifth round by the San Diego Chargers. After blocking for Division II’s best running back, Jamar Brittingham, at Bloomsburg, Evans is now blocking for Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush in New Orleans.
     Evans is a key figure in an offensive line that has ranked among the NFL’s best units since 2006 and surrendered the fewest sacks in the league over the last three years. An immediate starter since being drafted in the fourth round in 2006, Evans has gone from being a little-known rookie to an established veteran now considered one of the NFL’s top right guards. Evans has started all 64 games of his NFL career.
     In the summer of 2010, Evans signed a seven-year, $56 million contract. He was a 2009 Pro Bowl-starter, Associated Press All-Pro, Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America Association All-NFL, and The Sporting News All-Pro. In 2006, he was recognized as Pro Football Weekly/PFWAAll-Rookie and Dallas Morning News All-Rookie.
     Evans was a two-time All-American. In 2005, he helped lead the Huskies to an undefeated regular season and a PSAC East title.

Eric Jonassen
In 1992, tackle Eric Jonassen was selected in the fifth round by the San Diego Chargers. Jonassen played two years for the Chargers. In 1993, Jonassen played in all 16 games and started in two for the Chargers. His career ended after the 1993 season. At Bloomsburg, Jonassen was an All-American tackle.

Mike Morucci
Running back Mike Morucci was taken in the seventh round of the 1980 draft by the New Orleans Saints; however, his NFL career was cut short by injury. At Bloomsburg, he graduated as the Huskies and the PSAC all-time leading rusher. His Bloomsburg records stood until 1997 when they were broken by tailback Irv Sigler.

Bob Tucker
Bob Tucker was not drafted but joined the Giants as a rookie in 1970. He put together a solid 11-year career as a tight end. Tucker had 422 receptions for 5,421 yards and scored 27 touchdowns. In 1971, his 59 receptions ranked second in the league. At Bloomsburg, Tucker was an All-Pennsylvania Conference selection three times. He graduated with nine school receiving records and ranks fourth all-time at BU with 131 receptions.

Bob Warner
Running back Bob Warner was selected in the 13th round of the 1972 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos.

Elmer Kreisser
Kreisser became the first Bloomsburg player to be drafted in the NFL when he was taken in the 27th round by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tom Donan
Donan was the first Bloomsburg player to sign a pro contract when he inked with the Steelers in 1949. Injuries forced him to retire while in camp.

Frank Luchnick
Luchnick was the second Bloomsburg player to sign a pro contract. He signed with the Steelers and was invited to camp in 1949.
