Rebels in the NFL: Week 9 stats and performances from former Ole Miss stars

Some weeks are about gaudy stat lines. Others are about steady production and a few breakout moments.

Week 9 leaned toward the latter for former Ole Miss players around the NFL, with Jordan Watkins turning in the biggest performance of the weekend after hauling in four catches for 86 yards and a touchdown for San Francisco.

Elsewhere, veterans like D.J. Jones, Evan Engram and Dawson Knox continued to contribute, while several former Rebels worked their way onto the stat sheet on both sides of the ball as the NFL season rolled into November.
