As the NFL calendar shifts to Week 4, we take a look back at the most impactful #ProJackets from the previous week.
Former Tech K Harrison Butker returned to Atlanta, helping the Chiefs improve to 3-0 with a Sunday night football victory over the Falcons in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Butker made yet another strong showing, making all three of his field goal attempts to improve to 7-7 on field goals this season. He drilled a 53-yard field goal on Sunday night, a new season-high. With that field goal, Butker has now made his last nine straight 50+ yard attempts.
Former Tech RB Jordan Mason was a focal point for the 49ers, yet again, in week three, making 19 carries for 77 yards in San Francisco’s loss to the Rams. Mason leads the NFL in carries (67) this season and is second in rushing yards (324), behind only Saquon Barkley. Mason’s 108.0 yards/game average is second in the NFL and his 16 total first downs is also second best in the league, behind only Alvin Kamara.
Former Tech DE Keion White continued his impressive run of form this season, making six tackles (five solo) and a pair of quarterback hits in the Patriots loss to the Jets. While he wasn’t able to record a sack in the game this past Thursday, his 4.0 sacks this season still ranks third in the NFL, behind only Aidan Hutchinson and Will McDonald IV.
