Rebels in the NFL: How former players fared in Week 3

Week 3 didn’t bring a ton of headline moments for former Ole Miss players, but it did offer a steady mix of production, close calls and a few standout performances across the league.

Tre Harris put together his best day yet for the Chargers, DK Metcalf found the end zone again, and several rookies continued to carve out early roles on defense and special teams. Others had quieter afternoons or were limited by game flow, but the overall picture stayed the same.

Ole Miss players are everywhere, and most of them are contributing.
