During the Conference Championship Round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs, three out of five former Arkansas Razorbacks football players who are currently on NFL rosters participated in games. Two of these players started for their respective teams.
Hunter Henry, tight end for the New England Patriots, made two receptions totaling 12 yards during the Patriots’ 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos. This win secured New England’s twelfth appearance in a Super Bowl and will be Henry’s first trip to the championship game. “Henry has registered a reception in all 20 games this season and caught a pass in 35 of his last 36 games played.”
Other former Razorbacks also contributed during the round. Dre Greenlaw, playing for Denver, recorded six tackles over 31 snaps in the loss to New England. Kamren Curl started for the Los Angeles Rams and made four tackles across 71 snaps in their 31-27 defeat by the Seattle Seahawks. Beaux Limmer, also with Los Angeles, did not play in that game but has appeared in five games this season. Eric Gregory, now with New England, did not participate against Denver but has played seven games this year.
Looking ahead, Hunter Henry and rookie Eric Gregory will represent Arkansas when the New England Patriots face off against the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8 at 5:30 p.m. This event marks the ninth time that multiple former Arkansas players will appear together in a Super Bowl.
