Pro Pokes Recap: Jaylen Warren Excels With Steelers on Monday Night Football
With Oklahoma State producing solid NFL talent, following the former Cowboys through their pro journeys is always something intriguing to watch. Primarily producing good running back talents, each week there are former Cowboys receiving opportunities to make big plays for their teams.
Here's how a few Pro Pokes fared this week:
Justice Hill, Baltimore Ravens: After scoring two touchdowns in Week 1 and the Ravens seeing injuries in the running back room, Hill got more touches in Week 2.
Hill saw 11 touches on the ground in Week 2, which produced 41 yards for an average of 3.7 yards per carry. He also got three targets in the air, catching all of them for 12 yards. With JK Dobbins sidelined for injury, Hill could be in for some huge games in the coming weeks.
Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers: Warren is knocking on the door to become the Steelers' starting running back. Najee Harris hasn't produced like the team might have hoped, and Warren has some solid potential to play well into the system.
Warren finished Monday Night Football with 86 all-purpose yards, with 20 yards on the ground and 66 yards in the passing game. He was more of a threat in the passing game but could benefit from more touches on the ground. Watching Warren's usage moving forward will be intriguing to watch.
Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers: Also playing in Monday Night Football in a separate game to Warren, the Panthers took on the New Orleans Saints who hoist a solid defense.
Hubbard only saw two touches on the ground for 16 yards but received five passes for 34 yards. He's spent plenty of his young career as a backup running back but has the potential to thrive in an improved role if he ever gets that opportunity.
Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins: Hill didn't have his typical eye-popping stats for the Dolphins in Week 2, but he caught five passes for 40 yards while catching a touchdown pass.
The Dolphins usually air the ball out and gain plenty of yards in the air, which typically goes through Hill, but he provides a positive impact when that's not working.
There are plenty of other former Cowboys in the NFL, and when they have big games, they'll get their shine in the recap. Until then, these were just a few of the former Oklahoma State football players who made an impact for their team's this past weekend.
