Longhorns In The NFL: Week One

[Lukus Alderman]

In week one of the NFL, Texas was well represented with 34 Longhorns on opening day rosters. Several of the players highlighted the weekend, including S Michael Griffin recording an interception for the Tennessee Titans and S Earl Thomas posting five tackles and a pass deflection for Seattle. On an unfortunate note, Pro Bowl LB Derrick Johnson ruptured his Achilles' tendon in Kansas City's game this weekend, ending his season.

I enjoy watching KC play and that's mostly because of DJ. With him sidelined, I won't tune in as much.

J Charles is on my FFL team - I generally don't watch my players play. It's a weird superstition.

Charles had a tough opener for fantasy owners.....

Texas noted that 34 players were represented so that was probably just an oversight.
