| Tarvaris Jackson is one of four former Alabama State football standouts on NFL rosters. |
Jackson, in his eighth NFL season, has played in three games this season as the No. 2 quarterback to starter Russell Wilson. Jackson has completed 10 of 13 passes for 151 yards and one touchdown for the 12-3 Seahawks, who need a win to clinch the NFC West title, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Another former Hornet QB, Greg Jenkins, is playing wide receiver for the Oakland Raiders and is the team's primary returner on punts and kickoffs. Jenkins, who began the season on the practice squad and was promoted to the 53-man roster in mid-November, is averaging 9.6 yards on five punt returns, and just over 22 yards on 10 kickoff returns. Jenkins scored his first career NFL touchdown on a fumble return on the opening play of the game against Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. The Raiders finish the season at home Sunday against Denver.
Former ASU standouts Terren Jones and Saeed Lee will complete the regular season with the Atlanta Falcons at home Sunday against Carolina. Jones was promoted from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster in late November and the offensive lineman is awaiting his first action in a regular season game. Lee has been on injured reserve with the Falcons throughout the 2013 season.
