Week three of the NFL is in the books, and the Buckeyes in the league had a pretty good showing. From one player playing almost every position on the field, to guys making their NFL debuts, let’s take a look at how the former Buckeyes fared in week 3.
Let’s start with Mr. Do-it-All Terrelle Pryor for the Cleveland Browns. Pryor became the first player since the 1980’s to have at least 2 receptions, 2 rushing attempts and 2 completions, he even got in the action on defense playing safety to close out the first half. It looks like all the hard work that Pryor put in to converting himself to a wide receiver has finally paid off, as he has become a prime target downfield, and proved that he can do it from other spots on the field as well. As the Browns season continues to fade away, they do have a bright spot in Terrelle Pryor at least. The Browns lost in overtime 27-24 after a missed field goal at the end of regulation forced the game into overtime.

Michael Thomas grabbed his first touchdown reception of the season last night in the Saints 45-32 loss to the Falcons. Thomas had seven catches for 71 yards and the touchdown.

Ezekiel Elliott was held scoreless in his third game, but he showed why he was the #4 overall pick in last years draft with hard runs and 140 yards rushing. The Cowboys won 31-17 against the Bears.

The other starting Buckeye running back in the NFL is Carlos Hyde, and he also had himself a big game going for 103 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The 49ers lost 37-18 to the Seattle Seahawks.

Darron Lee continues to prove he was a great pick-up by the Jets with another solid performance notching six tackles, with two of them coming for a loss. He also had a half a sack and one hit on QB Tyrod Taylor.
