Due to some power issues, Jeff Drummond of CatsPause.com beat me to the punch in collecting the stats for all the former Wildcats taking the field for the first weekend of NFL preseason action. Rather than duplicate what he’s already done, here are some of the more notable performances as described by Drummond.
Randall Cobb saw his first NFL action with the Green Bay Packers, catching three passes for 60 yards
* Braxton Kelley, LB, Denver Broncos — Kelley is trying to win a roster spot alongside a couple of former teammates in the Mile HIgh City. He may get a longer look after Friday’s team-high seven tackles in the Broncos’ 24-23 loss to Dallas. He was credited with four solo tackles.* Wesley Woodyard, LB, Denver Broncos — Kelley’s high school and college teammate (By the way, how cool is that for the old LaGrange friends go through this many stages of their football careers together?) had two tackles against the Cowboys.* Randall Cobb, WR/KR, Green Bay Packers — The rookie looked like a seasoned veteran in the Packers’ 27-17 loss to the Browns. Cobb led the team with 60 receiving yards on three catches, including a long of 28 yards. He also returned two kickoffs for 58 yards. He is thought to be the frontrunner for Green Bay’s main kickoff return duties.* Tim Masthay, P, Green Bay Packers — The specialist for the world champions picked up where he left off a year ago with five punts for 261 yards (52.2 average), a long of 60 and one inside the 20 yard line.Derrick Locke, RB, Philadelphia Eagles — Locke looked good on his two rushing attempts in the Eagles’ 13-6 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He had a 12-yard carry and a 3-yard rush.
