EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was updated to reflect former Utah linebacker Trevor Reilly signing to the New England practice squad Wednesday.
The NFL playoff field is set, and 21 players with Utah ties will be on this year's postseason rosters.
That is four fewer players than the 25 with local ties that made playoff rosters last season, and 27.2 percent of the 77 locals currently in the NFL made the postseason. Fourteen are on active rosters, with three on injured reserve and four on practice squads.
The University of Utah is best represented, with 12 former Utes on NFL playoff rosters. BYU has five former players in the postseason, while Utah State and Southern Utah each have one. Two athletes who once played at Snow College also dot a postseason roster.
Five Utah high schools are also represented in this year's playoffs, including two players from Bingham High and one each from American Fork, Jordan, Layton and Syracuse.
Here's a look at each of those with local ties on NFL playoff rosters, by team, beginning in the AFC.
