Cats in the NFL...

Since this has been a slow weekend and there has been little to talk about (I kid), I thought I would give a quick report on some former football Cats, and how they a fairing in the professional ranks. As of right now, there are 7 former Wildcats on active NFL rosters.

Keenan Burton: Has started half the games for the winless St. Louis Rams, has 171 receiving yards on 17 receptions. Not too shabby after only starting 1 game all of last season.

Jeremy Jarmon: Despite being taken in the supplemental draft this summer with the hope he'd contribute next season, Jeremy has already made an impact. In limited time this season, he has 6 tackles and a forced fumble.

Steve Johnson : After playing in 11 games last season, Stevie "got loose" Johnson has only managed to get into one this season. Probably has something do with Buffalo signing some guy named Terrell Owens, whoever that is.

Myron Pryor: In five games for the Patriots this season, Myron has 7 tackles and a forced fumble. In the two losses that the Pats have, Pryor had no stats. So it obvious he is making a difference early in his rookie season.

Jacob Tamme: Has one reception for 6 yards which came in the first game of the season. Unless Dallas Clark falls off the face of the earth, Tamme will have difficulty finding playing time in Indianapolis. Except for an occasional play here and there in a backup role.

Garry Williams: Has yet to see the field this season. Which has to be the reason the Panthers are 2-3. But as the old saying goes, he is getting paid to sit on Sunday. I think that's how it goes.

Wesley Woodyard: Probably the most impactful former Cat. Woodyard has 17 total tackles, a forced fumble, and one interception for the 5-0 Broncos.

Andre Woodson was signed to practice squad for the Washington Redskins late in the preaseaon, and yet to log any stats.

One last shout out to a local boy, George Wilson. A former Paducah Tilghman star, who played his college ball at Arkansas. Wilson had a career day in a win against the Jets on Sunday with 11 tackles and his 1st career interception for the Buffalo Bills.

Congratulations to George and all the former Cats representing KY in the NFL.
