Evan Loring is a senior manager at Congruity, an IT support services company, where he is responsible for analyzing support and maintenance spending for large enterprise corporations. Prior to beginning a career in information technology, Evan Loring was a receivers coach for Harvard University’s football team.

Harvard Crimson has the second best winning percentage of all NCAA Division-1 programs since 2001, so it’s no surprise the team has had more players sign with NFL teams than any Ivy League program in that same time frame. Below are three of the most prominent Harvard alumni currently playing in the NFL.

1. Ryan Fitzpatrick: A seventh-round draft pick by the St. Louis Rams in 2005, Fitzpatrick threw 39 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in four years with Harvard. The 34-year-old quarterback, who played for the New York Jets this past season, has 166 career touchdowns and 133 interceptions.

2. Cameron Brate: Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Brate recorded 18 touchdowns and 1,381 yards in three seasons with Harvard. The 25-year-old was a breakout player for the Bucs this season, recording a career-high eight touchdowns.

3. Kyle Juszczyk: A fullback with the Baltimore Ravens, Juszczyk played tight end with the Crimson and finished his four-year college career with the most receptions (125), receiving yards (1,576), and touchdown catches (22) among tight ends.
