‘Noles in the NFL: Week 1

The NFL is back and plenty of former Seminoles suited up for teams across the league in week one. FSU ranked 6th among all schools with 33 former players on week one rosters.

Atlanta Falcons (12-18 Loss to Philadelphia)

Devonta Freeman, RB: Rushed for 36 yards on 6 carries and added 14 yards receiving. Freeman was sidelined in the fourth quarter for an apparent knee injury that doesn’t look to be serious enough for Freeman to miss any time.
