Georgia Tech had several players in action in week one of the NFL season

It was week one of the NFL season on Sunday and there were quite a few former Yellow Jackets in action. 

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller was fresh off getting a contract extension and looked good in the Raider's season opener against the Chargers. 

Former Yellow Jacket offensive lineman Shaq Mason is still in action against the Dallas Cowboys tonight, so I did not list him below. 

So how did all of the NFL Yellow Jackets do? Let's take a look.
