Oklahoma football all-time roster: Offensive starters and backups

See which legends made the cut in our all-time Oklahoma Sooners football roster, starting with the offensive starters and backups.

When you have as illustrious a history as the Oklahoma Sooners with their seven national championships, the longest winning streak in college football history, seven Heisman Trophy winners, and 50 conference championships, picking an all-time team can be a difficult task.

Oklahoma has some legendary figures in the world of college football. It’s a program that’s had incredible success dating back to Bennie Owen in the program’s early days. For more than 100 years, the Oklahoma Sooners have created a program that’s synonymous with winning.

Here’s our crack at Oklahoma’s All-Time offense.

Panthers host free agent DB Josh Hawkins, 2 others for visits

According to the league’s transaction report, the Panthers hosted free agent defensive back Josh Hawkins as well as linebacker Greg Roberts and defensive tackle Mike Panasiuk for visits Tuesday.

According to the league’s transaction report, the Panthers hosted free agent defensive back Josh Hawkins as well as linebacker Greg Roberts and defensive tackle Mike Panasiuk for visits Tuesday.

Hawkins (5-foot-10, 190 pounds) came into the league in 2016 as an undrafted free agent signed by the Packers and has spent most of his time on practice squads for multiple teams. His most notable season was in 2017, when he totaled 38 tackles and six quarterback hits, playing 38% of defensive snaps for the Packers. He played sparingly in five games for the Panthers in 2018, all on special teams.

Roberts (6-foot-5, 258 pounds) is a second-year player but he might as well be considered a rookie, given that he spent his entire 2019 campaign on the Packers’ PUP list with an abdominal injury. In late July, Green Bay placed him on their reserve/COVID-19 list and released him shortly after.

Panasiuk (6-foot-4, 300 pounds) signed with the Raiders this offseason as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State, but only spent training camp with the team before he was released on roster cut day. As a Spartan, Panasiuk totaled 95 tackles and five sacks on the interior defensive line, capping off his season with a big-man touchdown off of a tipped pass from his teammate (and brother).

The Panthers practice squad is currently full at 16 players, with RB Reggie Bonnafon on IR. If any of these three sign, somebody will need to be cut.

Packers rookie OLB Greg Roberts, still on PUP list, begins practicing

The rookie OLB now has 21 days to be activated to the roster, waived or kept on the PUP list for the rest of the year.

Green Bay Packers rookie outside linebacker Greg Roberts, who has been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list all season, finally returned to practice on Thursday.

By practicing, Roberts – an undrafted rookie from Baylor – opened up a 21-day window for the Packers to activate him to the 53-man roster, waive him or keep him on the PUP list for the rest of the season.

According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Roberts was on the PUP list while recovering from offseason core surgery. His rookie contract includes $72,000 in guarantees, meaning the Packers saw him as a high-level undrafted free agent when they signed him in May.

Roberts (6-5, 258) played in 42 games at Baylor, tallying 15.5 tackles for losses, three sacks, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two field goal blocks. He was an honorable mention All-Big 12 pick as a senior when he produced eight tackles for losses and two sacks (both of Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray).

The Packers don’t necessarily have a need at edge rusher, especially with Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith locked in as starters and both Rashan Gary and Kyler Fackrell holding down the key backup roles. But if GM Brian Gutekunst likes Roberts as much as the money suggests, he’ll probably want to find a spot on the roster for him within the three-week window.
