NC State in the NFL: Week 4 Report

Published

5 years ago

on

19 of the 21 former NC State players on active NFL rosters saw action in Week 4 of the 2019 NFL season. Check out a breakdown of how they did below. Cornerback Dontae Johnson was waived by the Chargers, and Defensive Tackle T.Y. McGill was released by the Redskins.

Quarterback Philip Rivers (starter) was the best at his position in the NFL in Week 4, completing 24 of 30 passes for 310 yards and 2 touchdowns (0 interceptions) for a QB Rating of 131.9.

Quarterback Russell Wilson (starter) was solid once again, completing 22 of 28 for 240 yards and a touchdown (0 interceptions) with a QB Rating of 114.3 in Seattle’s 27-10 victory over Arizona. Wilson is off to the best start of his career.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett (starter) was 24 of 46 for 265 yards and 3 touchdowns (1 interception) for a QB Rating of 82.2 in the Colts’ 31-24 loss to the Raiders. Through 4 weeks, Brissett is tied for the NFL lead in touchdown passes (10).

Running Back Jaylen Samuels produced a historical trifecta on Monday night, completing all 3 of his “passes” for 31 yards, rushed 10 times for 26 yards and a touchdown, and snagged a team high 8 receptions for 57 yards in the Steelers’ 27-3 victory over the Bengals. He played in 45% of the offensive snaps.

Linebacker Bradley Chubb (starter) had 7 tackles, 1 sack, 3 QB Hits and 1 forced fumble in Denver’s 26-24 loss to Jacksonville. Unfortunately Chubb tore his ACL in the game, and will miss the remainder of the season.

Running Back Nyheim Hines had 6 receptions (6 targets) for 39 yards and 3 rushes for 6 yards in Indianapolis’ 31-24 loss to Oakland. Hines played in 45% of the offensive snaps. He ranks 2nd on the team through 4 games with 14 receptions.

Defensive Tackle Justin Jones (starter) had 1 tackle, 1 QB Hit and 1 forced fumble in Los Angeles’ 30-10 win over Miami. He played 69% of the defensive snaps.

Punter A.J. Cole (starter) punted the ball 5 times for an average of 50.6 yards in the Raiders 31-24 victory over the Colts. Three of his punts landed inside the 20-yard line.

Offensive Guard Joe Thuney (starter) played in 100% of the snaps in the Patriots’ 16-10 victory over the Bills. Thuney has started ever single game since entering the NFL. That was at risk when his name was on the injury report earlier in the week with a shoulder injury. Through 4 games, Thuney ranks 2nd in the NFL among Offensive Guards in Pass Block Win Rate.

Offensive Guard J.R. Sweezy (starter) played 100% of the offensive snaps in Arizona’s 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. Through 4 games, Sweezy ranks 6th in the NFL among Offensive Guards in Pass Block Win Rate.

Offensive Guard Ted Larsen (starter) started his first game of the season, playing 57% of the offensive snaps in the Bears’ 16-6 victory over the Vikings.

Center Garrett Bradbury (starter) played 100% of the offensive snaps in the Vikings’ 16-6 loss to the Bears. He has struggled through the first 4 games, allowing 13 pressures, which is on pace to be the most allowed by a Center in the ProFootballFocus era.

Defensive End B.J. Hill had 4 tackles in New York’s 24-3 victory over Washington. He played in 49% of the defensive snaps.

Linebacker Germaine Pratt had 2 tackles in Cincinnati’s 27-3 loss to Pittsburgh, playing in 21% of the defensive snaps.

Wide Receiver Kelvin Harmon had 2 receptions for 14 yards in the Redskins’ 24-3 victory over the Giants. Harmon played 57% of the offensive snaps.

Place Kicker Stephen Hauschka (starter) made a 46-yard field goal, and missed a 49-yard field goal in the Bills’ 16-10 loss to the Pats. He connected on his only extra point attempt.

Offensive Tackle Will Richardson played in 41% of the Offensive Snaps in the Jaguars’ 26-24 victory over the Broncos.

After starting the week before, Cornerback Juston Burris played 14% of the defensive snaps in Cleveland’s 40-25 victory over Baltimore.

Wide Receiver Jakobi Meyers played 4 offensive snaps in New England’s 16-10 victory over the Bills.

Former NC State Guard Terquavion Smith earned a spot on the 2023-24 NBA G-League All-Rookie Team.

Smith averaged 22.3 points, 3.4 assists and 3 rebounds per game for the Delaware Blue Coats. What’s crazy, is that he only started in 3 of the 36 games he played in. With that being said, he averaged 30.7 minutes per game. Smith shot 35.6% from three.

As a 2-way player, Smith also played 16 games for the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 3.3 points in 5.3 minutes per game. He shot 37.1% from three.

NC State LB Payton Wilson Visited with the Steelers Yesterday

Former NC State Linebacker Payton Wilson had a Top-30 visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. Wilson is the first Linebacker the Steelers have brought in.

Wilson has already had Top-30 visits with the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers.

PFF ranks Wilson as the #1 Linebacker in the 2024 Draft, and #26 on their Big Board.

1. LB PAYTON WILSON, NC STATE

PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 26

Wilson has the length, movement ability, IQ and tape of a first-round linebacker. What will likely keep him from being drafted on Day 1 is his injury history and age. If healthy, he can be a starting inside linebacker in any defense. (PFF)

Will someone take Wilson in the 1st round? Will he be a 2nd round pick? If he slips past that, that’s just stupid.

A post shared by DJ Horne (@djhorne)

Horne is trying to become the first Wolfpack player to be drafted since Dennis Smith Jr. was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 6th pick in the 1st Round.

While Horne might not currently be projected to be drafted, he is trying to change that tune at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament which begins tomorrow.

Horne is a special player, and genuinely possesses the skill set to compete at the next level. Whether he is drafted, or signs a 2-way contract, what he put on tape this year warrants a chance.
