In addition to the players that have reached the big leagues, other WCL alums have gone on to thrive on the gridiron. Former WCL players Jordan Poyer and Jake Locker have played in the NFL. Poyer, a safety for the Philadelphia Eagles, who’s set for his eighth season in the NFL, played for the Corvallis Knights in 2010 following his freshman season at Oregon State.

Locker, a native of Ferndale, Washington, played for the nearby Bellingham Bells in 2008. The star quarterback for the University of Washington went on to be selected by the Tennessee Titans with the eighth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Locker was also drafted by the Los Angeles Angels out of high school in 2006, but opted to focus on college football instead of playing pro baseball.
