List of UConn Huskies in the NFL draft

[Note 1] Two of those selections were in the first round of the draft, both with the 27th overall pick: running back Donald Brown in 2009 and cornerback Byron Jones in 2015.

Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record with any remaining ties broken by strength of schedule.

Playoff participants are sequenced after non-playoff teams, based on their round of elimination (wild card, division, conference, and Super Bowl).

[5] Before the merger agreements in 1966, the American Football League (AFL) operated in direct competition with the NFL and held a separate draft.
