Sooners In The NFL | Week Sixteen
Posted on: December 23, 2013
This proved to be an active and productive week for the former Sooners playing in the league. Whether it was Frank Alexander’s Panthers clinching a playoff spot, or Gerald McCoy recording his ninth sack on the season which tied a franchise record for defensive tackles, or DeMarco Murray’s two touchdown game helping his Cowboys get a much needed win, or the undrafted Tony Jefferson getting the start and helping his Cardinals pull off a huge win on the road in Seattle.

Gerald is killin it!
yes he is SK. Over the past 6 weeks or so GM has played at a near pro bowl level.
didn’t see the game, but heard on the radio that Hartley was cut by the Saints. 🙁
Yep, happened early this week. Sucks but I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t catch on somewhere else.
DeMarco is fierce; that dude ripped off his helmet and wanted to go after the entire ‘Skins defense hahaha
Murray is willing his team to win, he is a beast.
He might be a beast, but Lane Johnson’s Philly Eagles will win next week.
Probably right, wish the same team would draft all sooners, I hate picking sides.
Top 5 OU players in the NFL right now? Peterson, McCoy, Murray, Loadholt, and Bradford?
Williams before load
bmrsnr what do you base TW over Load on?? I have no idea. I don’t watch a lot of NFL ball, dang sure don’t watch NFLfilm, just wondering how/why you think Williams is better then Loadholt at the NFL level.
Stills and Jefferson are showing up as rookies, though. Could be on this list soon IMO.
I think Lane Johnson has to be in the Top 5.
Is Landry hurt or is he on the verge of being cut?
Love that Tony Jefferson is making an impact in the league.
I’ve wondered the same thing. haven’t seen him since preseason. I’ll bet our man Jordan can get the scoop.
Not hurt (to my knowledge), just third string behind a pair of veterans biding his time.
I knew you would come thru!
I don’t follow too much NFL, why is Lewis suspended?
This is what I found on Lewis. It looks like he was busted for roids: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10074508/travis-lewis-detroit-lions-suspended-four-games-violating-nfl-performance-enhancing-substance-policy
Don’t you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby
I just did a little investigating, he was suspended for Adderal, not a steriod. It’s the study drug.
I had no idea Lewis was suspended for Adderal. Adderal is commonly scripted for people with ADD. Adderal is banned by the league as will as MLB. It is considered to be a speed too the people who use it that ARE NOT ADD. Ian Kinsler uses it. Under the MLB CBA he is allowed because he was diagnosed as being ADD.
I found it on a Detroit website. As far as the affects of Adderal, yeah I know exactly what it does if you don’t need it. I took it a few times in college. It will give you razor sharp focus and you will not sleep for a while, tons of energy, I could see why it would be banned.
Great post pit. Love the honesty.
Ah, no big deal. No reason to not admit to doing something 10 years ago. I’ve admitted to much worse.
