FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Here is a look at how the 13 former Arkansas football players active on NFL rosters fared this past weekend in Week 6 of the NFL season.
BEST OF WEEK 6
Dre Greenlaw, LB, San Francisco 49ers
Greenlaw tied his season-high by making seven tackles for the second straight game as San Francisco defeated the Los Angeles Rams 24-16 on Sunday Night Football. The second-year pro recorded a PFF tackle game grade of 79.6, the fourth highest of all 49ers. Greenlaw leads San Francisco and ranks second among all NFL linebackers that have played more than 100 snaps with an 85.7 season tackle grade.
Trey Flowers, DE, Detroit Lions
Tying his season-high of five tackles with a sack and a forced fumble, Flowers played an important role in Detroit’s 34-16 win at Jacksonville. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, he recorded the league’s fastest sack of the week at 2.7 seconds, wrapping up Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew while stripping the ball free for his second forced fumble of the season. Since 2017, Flowers has produced 9 FFs, tied with DeMarcus Lawrence for the third-most by any NFL DE in that span. Flowers also recorded an assisted tackle with CB Jeff Okudah blowing up a pass to WR DJ Chark for no gain and made a solo stop holding RB James Robinson to a one-yard gain. His PFF defensive grade of 92.0 was the week’s high league-wide among defensive ends.
