Kyler Murray is a QB who plays for the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL. Murray was one of the biggest names in college football when he played for Alabama University. The 25-year-old QB is of Korean Descent from his mother’s side.

Murray’s mother is Korean, which makes him half-Asian. The skilful QB is fully talented and was also on the receiving end of one of the biggest QB contracts in NFL history due to his great running game coupled with his immaculate passing game.

2. Hines Ward

Ward is probably one of the most iconic players to ever play in the NFL. The former Steelers WR was known for his blistering pace. Hines Ward also won the MVP for Super Bowl XL.

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Ward had a long career in the league and ended his playing career with 1,000 receptions, 12,083 receiving yards, and 85 touchdowns.

Ward became an inspiration for many young Asian players who wanted to try their luck in one of the most physical leagues in the world. Currently, the former WR is an XFL team coach.

3. Eugene Chung

Eugene Chung was an Offensive Tackle who used to play for the New England Patriots. The former OT holds the record for being the first American-Asian player to be drafted in the first round of the NFL.

Chung had a short five-year career in the league and couldn’t handle the massive pressure of constant squad rotation. The former OT currently works as a football coach in the league. Although Chung was born in the US, his parents are of Korean descent.

4. Tedy Bruschi

Tedy Bruschi is one of the most famous Asian players to set foot on the field. The former linebacker was part of the Super Bowl escapades with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in the Patriots.

Bruschi was the son of a Filipino mother and became widely known as one of the best defensive players in the country during his time in the NFL. The former LB recorded a massive 1,110 tackles, 30.5 sacks, 12 interceptions, and 11 forced fumbles in his career. After that, his health started taking a hit and Bruschi even suffered a stroke.

5. Roman Gabriel

We’ve saved the best for the last. Roman Gabriel was a former QB who played for the Rams for 11 seasons. He is regarded as the best QB of his time and his struggle makes him one of the best Asian players to ever set foot on the field.

Gabriel was born to a Filipino father and was drafted in the second round of the 1962 NFL draft by the Rams. Gabriel was playing in the NFL when there wasn’t much racial diversity. However, the former QB still prospered as he led the Rams in passing touchdowns and yards. Still regarded as one of the most underrated QBs, Roman Gabriel has a great legacy.
