17 of the 20 former NC State players on active NFL rosters saw action in Week 5 of the 2019 NFL season. Check out a breakdown of how they did below.

Quarterback Russell Wilson (starter) was nearly perfect on Thursday night, completing 17 of 23 for 268 yards and 4 touchdowns (0 interceptions) for a QB Rating of 151.8 in the Seahawks 30-29 victory over the Rams. He also rushed the ball 8 times for 32 yards.

Wilson is off to one of the best starts in NFL history through 5 games.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett (starter) didn’t put his best numbers in the box score, but he was integral in leading the Colts to a 19-13 victory over the undefeated Chiefs. He was 18 of 29 for 151 yards, with no touchdowns, and 1 interception (QB Rating – 61.1). Brissett did manage to pick up a 1-yard rushing touchdown.

Defensive End B.J. Hill (starter) had 5 tackles in the Giants’ 28-10 loss to the Vikings. He played in 69% of the defensive snaps, which was the most of anyone on the team.

Defensive Tackle Justin Jones (starter) had 5 tackles, 2 QB Hits, and 1 pass deflection in Los Angeles’ 20-13 loss to Denver. He played in 79% of the defensive snaps, which was the highest on the team.
