Former ASU Hornets Start 2015 Season on NFL Rosters

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Two former members of the Alabama State University football team will be on opening day rosters when the National Football League (NFL) opens its regular season this weekend.

Former quarterback Tarvaris Jackson will enter his 10th NFL season this year and his fourth with the Seattle Seahawks. He was drafted in the 2006 draft by the Minnesota Vikings where he spent six years of his career.

Jackson and the Seahawks begin their season Sunday, Sept. 13 with a road game at St. Louis. The kickoff has been scheduled for noon.

Two-time all SWAC running back Isaiah Crowell will continue his career with the Cleveland Browns. The second-year pro made the Browns last season as an undrafted free agent and worked his way into the starting lineup.

The Browns will also start the 2015 season on the road when they face the New York Jets Sunday at noon.
