Are there any Asian players in the NFL right now? I’m in the Bay Area where there’s a huge Asian population, so I’m just curious. I imagine there wouldn’t be many considering football isn’t very popular there. I believe Kyler Murray is half Korean.

Patrick Chung is half Chinese.

You can sort of classify Samoans as Asian. Historically, they we from Asia. As of the following article written in 2014, there were 30 NFL players from Samoa's small population of 65,000. That's amazing. Such big strong people. I think Shelton is of Samoan descent.
