#ProHogs In The NFL - Week 8 Report

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Here’s a look at how the 13 former Arkansas football players active on NFL rosters fared this past weekend in Week 8 of the NFL season.

BEST OF WEEK 8

Trey Flowers, DE, Detroit Lions
The major off-season acquisition is starting to heat up for the Lions. Trey Flowers was on full display in Detroit’s 31-26 win over the New York Giants, especially in the fourth quarter. Even though he only tallied four tackles in the game, Flowers was a major disruption on what would have been the Giants’ game-winning drives, getting to the quarterback twice for sacks and forcing a fumble. The two sacks ties Flowers’ career high and he now has three sacks on the year. He’s also pulled in four or more tackles in four of the last five weeks and has 26 tackles this year.

Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Washington Redskins
Jeremy Sprinkle, once again, made the start at tight end for the Redskins’ 19-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and notched his fourth-straight game with two catches. Sprinkle has started all eight games for the Redskins this year, but the offensive production hasn’t been as high as you would expect as the primary tight end. That probably has less to do with Sprinkle and more to do with the 1-7 Redskins who fired their head coach after Week 5 and are still in search of their second win. Sprinkle has 13 catches on the year for 124 yards and has at least one catch in every game this year. He has the fifth-most catches on the team, but is still in search of his first touchdown since Week 15 of the 2018 season.

Deatrich Wise, Jr., DE, New England Patriots
It seems Deatrich Wise, Jr. might be in the midst of another strong season as a pro. Wise didn’t start in the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Cleveland Browns to move to 8-0, but he still managed three tackles in 17 snaps. The three tackles is a season high and he has at least two tackles in each of his last four games. It was also his third-most tackles in a game in his career and he has continued to be a force on the line for a Patriots defense that is, arguably, the best in the NFL. Wise now has 11 tackles this year, as well as one tackle for loss and six quarterback hurries.
