Georgia Tech Football Alumni Shine in NFL: Juanyeh Thomas Leads the Way
Juanyeh Thomas had an outstanding performance with 10 total tackles, including five solo tackles, setting career highs in various categories. With increased playing time due to Malik Hooker's injury, Thomas made the most of his opportunity as the Cowboys defeated the New York Jets. Darren Waller continued his impressive form with his third touchdown reception in two games, contributing significantly to the Dolphins' offense. Other former Georgia Tech players in the NFL also had notable performances in their respective games.
Zeek Biggers did not appear in the Dolphins' loss to the Carolina Panthers, while Harrison Butker made all four extra points in the Chiefs' defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jackson Hawes saw playing time in the Bills' loss to the New England Patriots, and Jordan Mason had a solid performance for the Minnesota Vikings in their win over the Cleveland Browns. Keion White recorded one tackle in the Patriots' victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Additionally, three former Georgia Tech players are on practice squads: DL Adam Gotsis with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, TE E.J. Jenkins with the Philadelphia Eagles, and OL Devin Cochran with the Detroit Lions.
