Week 4 of the NFL’s college-to-pro pipeline spotlight delivered mixed results as former college standouts faced varied challenges across the league. Standout defensive performances included Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen, who dominated with five tackles (three solo) and a strong showing against the Browns, while Browns safety Grant Delpit made a play with an interception and six tackles.
On offense, Giants wideout Malik Nabers shone with six catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in a blowout win over the Cardinals, earning a solid mid-tier grade. Meanwhile, other games saw limited impact from former players, with only isolated contributions like Cowboys linebacker Danielle Hunter’s two assisted tackles and half a sack or Bears wideout Zavion Thomas’s strong kick returns.
The Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. and Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase both delivered in limited action, though Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s inconsistent play—including two interceptions—dragged down his team’s grade.
Defensive leaders like Rams linebacker Omar Speights and Chiefs cornerbacks Kristian Fulton and Mansoor Delane stood out with key tackles and sacks, while other former players, including Vikings safety Jay Ward and Broncos defensive end Sai’vion Jones, saw minimal impact.
