Former Ole Miss players were all over NFL fields Sunday, from established veterans making key plays to younger Rebels continuing to carve out larger roles.
The weekend featured a standout performance from Tavius Robinson, who filled the stat sheet with a sack, forced fumble and six tackles in Baltimore’s overtime win, while D.J. Jones delivered a sack and forced fumble of his own for Denver.
Sam Williams continued his strong start in Cleveland with two tackles for loss, and Walter Nolen III remained active in the middle for Arizona.
