As of 2023, the Memphis football program has produced 138 NFL & AFL Draft picks. An additional 44 Memphis players have gone on to be signed by teams as undrafted free agents. In 2020, Isaac Bruce became the first Memphis player inducted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Pro Football Hall of Fame currently ranks former Tiger Stephen Gostkowski as the sixth-best kicker in NFL history. Other notable former Memphis players include Andy Nelson, Dick Hudson, Harry Schuh, Tim Harris, DeAngelo Williams, and Dontari Poe.
Since 2019, the Memphis program has become known for producing a number of successful NFL running backs, including four drafted from 2019 to 2021 and a fifth signed as a free agent in 2020. In September 2021, sportscaster Dan Patrick dubbed Memphis the new "Running Back U". Of the five NFL running backs Memphis produced in this period, four played as starters: Darrell Henderson for Los Angeles, Antonio Gibson for Washington, Kenneth Gainwell for Philadelphia, and Tony Pollard for Dallas. Pollard was selected to the 2022 Pro Bowl in his fourth season.
