Three Michigan State football alumni suiting up for divisional round of the 2024 NFL playoffs

At the start of the 2024 NFL playoffs, Michigan State football had six representatives on teams playing in the wild card round. Now, that number has dropped to three as the divisional round of the NFL playoffs kicks off.

Last week, Connor Heyward, Ben VanSumeren, and Brian Allen were on teams that have since gotten knocked out of the playoffs.

Below, you can see which Spartans will be playing in games this weekend, including one pair of former MSU standouts who will be facing off in the NFC side of things.
