They've had 28 players ever, but other than the two mentioned above, the only ones since the 90s were Dan Turk (long time long snapper), Garry Howe (also played for the Iowa Barnstormers after 3 years in the NFL and U of Colorado after Drake), and Felix Wright (DB for the Browns and Vikes in the 80s thru 93).

They may have another soon. I watched them on the FCS Facebook Live Game of the Week this past Saturday on the side, and they have another really good TE (Steven Doran) and a good RB (Drew Lauer) that will get looks.

Felix Wright was an outstanding DB...Browns and Vikings. Led the NFL in interceptions in 1989.
He was very good, I didn't even realize he went to Drake until I looked up the list. And the crazy thing is he never made a Pro Bowl, even with 9 picks in a year! With all the guys that back out of the game now, substitutions for "injuries" and the Super Bowl teams not participating, it seems like a quarter of the league makes the pro bowl every year now.
