Here is a look at when former FSU football stars will be taking the field during the Divisional Round of the 2016 NFL Playoffs.

As the college football season came to a close this week, the pro game is getting closer to a conclusion and deciding who will be the last team standing come Super Bowl LI. From Green Bay to New England and Pittsburgh to Seattle, the Elite Eight of the NFL are still standing and looking toward advancing.

For six members of the teams left in the NFL postseason, they will have something in common that no one else can match: they are members of the FSU family and will be looking to represent the garnet and gold to the fullest.

Here’s a look at which former FSU stars will be taking the field this week during the Divisional Round of the 2016 postseason, including when you can see each game.
