Mustangs in the NFL — week 3

Postby PonyPride » Tue Sep 25, 2018 8:51 pm

From SMUMustangs.com:

SMU Football has a long history of producing NFL players and that tradition continues for the 2018 NFL season. From Super Bowl champions Emmanuel Sanders and Thomas Morstead to rookies Courtland Sutton, Justin Lawler, Trey Quinn and Evan Brown, there are currently 15 Mustangs on NFL rosters.

Take a look at how each Mustang performed in Week Three.

#31 Chris Banjo | S | New Orleans Saints
Banjo, a special teams standout, played 25 snaps for the Saints as they beat division rival Atlanta on the road in overtime.

#68 Kelvin Beachum | T | New York Jets
For the third straight week, Beachum played every snap at left tackle for the Jets. Off the field, Beachum is providing a grant to offset living expenses for students at the Holberton School. Holberton offers project-based and peer learning to train world-class software engineers in only two years, without an upfront tuition.

#11 Cole Beasley | WR | Dallas Cowboys
Beasley reeled in three catches for 46 yards against the Seahawks. He leads the Cowboys with 12 receptions for 132 yards this season.

#67 Evan Brown | C | New York Giants
Brown was inactive for the Giants' 27-22 win over the Texans.

#92 Margus Hunt | DT | Indianapolis Colts
Hunt continued his frenzied 2018, recording four tackles (three for a loss), a sack and a fumble recovery against the Eagles. His strip sack of Carson Wentz late in the third quarter put Indianapolis in position for a go-ahead field. Hunt leads the Colts with five tackles for loss in 2018.

#53 Justin Lawler | DE | Los Angeles Rams
Lawler played on seven snaps on special teams as the Rams beat the Chargers 35-23 to improve to 3-0.

#61 Josh LeRibeus | G | New Orleans Saints
LeRibeus earned his second start of the year, playing every snap at left guard as the Saints gained 534 yards of total offense in a 43-37 overtime win at division rival Atlanta.

#42 Zach Line | FB | New Orleans Saints
Line caught two passes for six yards and a touchdown in New Orleans' 43-37 overtime win over Atlanta.

#6 Thomas Morstead | P | New Orleans Saints
Morstead sent four punts downfield at an average distance of 50.5 yards per punt, including a long of 57 yards. He pinned the Falcons inside the 20-yard line twice.

#14 Trey Quinn | WR | Washington Redskins
Quinn remains on Washington's injured reserve list.

#24 Horace Richardson | CB | Minnesota Vikings
Richardson remains on Minnesota's injured reserve list.

#17 Aldrick Robinson | WR | Minnesota Vikings
Robinson caught one pass for a nine-yard gain in his first game of 2018. He also returned a kickoff for 21 yards.

#10 Emmanuel Sanders | WR | Denver Broncos
Sanders notched his first career rushing touchdown, a 35-yard end-around run. He also caught five passes for 38 yards.

#14 Courtland Sutton | WR | Denver Broncos
Sutton continued a productive rookie year, catching two passes for 37 yards, including a 21-yard reception.

#49 Zach Wood | LS | New Orleans Saints
Wood handled all of the long-snapping duties for the Saints for the third week in a row. He helped kicker Will Lutz complete a perfect 3-for-3 day on field goal attempts and convert all four PAT attempts. Fellow Mustang Thomas Morstead boomed four punts for a total of 202 yards.

Why would you want to go to SMU?

There is no path to the NFL from little ol' SMU.

Pay attention high school Juniors and Seniors.
Just send 'da money.

This link thinks we only have 13 players on NFL rosters but even that put us 40th nationally. That is very impressive for a school like SMU. Only two schools in Texas have more (Texas and A&M)
