Published

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.

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

Mike Tomlin’s Thoughts on the Steelers Drafting NC State’s Payton Wilson

April 29, 2024

By

Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin was ecstatic that NC State Linebacker Payton Wilson was available for Pittsburgh to pick up with the 98th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

“We had to get comfortable with his medical and we brought him in on a pre draft visit. We allowed our medical experts to really get a good evaluation of him. We talked to him about his injury history. We were at a place of comfort. And so from that perspective, man, we’re really excited about having him.” (Link)

“Man, we’re really excited about Peyton. When we turn his tape on, we see him making all the type of plays you need linebackers to make. He’s a volume tackle player. He makes plays in the passing game from a coverage perspective via interception and pass breakup. He gets after the quarterback in the blitz game. He’s got a very well-rounded skillset. He’s a fluid mover. He can run. Had an opportunity to lay some real up close eyes on him down there in Mobile at the Senior Bowl, we’re thankful we had an opportunity to get him. He’s got all the hardware that comes with some of those things that I described being a Butkus Award winner and so forth. We had to get comfortable with his medical and we brought him in on a pre draft visit. We allowed Our medical experts to really get a good evaluation of him. We talked to him about his injury history. We were at a place of comfort. And so from that perspective, man, we’re really excited about having him.” (Link)

“I think you could characterize it as surprised. I mean, he is an award-winning linebacker, Butkus Award winner. Had an opportunity to get really familiar with him down in Mobile as well. But the linebackers themselves weren’t coming off the board at that juncture. So sometimes they make runs on positions at different times and it hadn’t been a lot of linebackers to that point. I think what he was number five or so.” (Link)

“We’re really excited about Payton. When we turn his tape on, we see him making all the types of plays you need linebackers to make. He’s a volume tackle player.
