Seven former West Virginia football players saw action in the NFL’s Week 10 slate, as one player did not see game repetitions and one landed on the inactive list.

Here is a breakdown of how they played and how they were graded by PFF. 

Zach Frazier, C

The Pittsburgh Steelers center put on an impressive display on Sunday Night Football despite a 25-10 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. He was the 12th highest graded offensive lineman in the league at 81.1. He played all 52 snaps, with only one quarterback pressure allowed. 

Geno Smith, QB

On Thursday Night Football, Smith was a part of a defensive battle as he and the Las Vegas Raiders lost 10-7 to the Denver Broncos. He failed to throw a touchdown and missed one snap after landing roughly on a tackle. He threw for 143 yards, completing 16-of-26 passes. 

Dante Stills, DT

After a Week 9 performance in which Stills saw his worst PFF grade of the season– granted, he left the game early with an injury— he stepped up his play with his best grade of the season this week at 67.5. Stills played in 26 snaps and made three tackles in the Arizona Cardinals’ 44-22 loss against the Seattle Seahawks.

Colton McKivitz, T

After McKivitz’s best graded week of the season, a week ago, he slightly regressed for a grade of 66.6. Still an impressive grade, but it was worth noting as he’s been that good this season. In the San Francisco 49ers’ 42-26 loss against the Los Angeles Rams, he allowed one pressure, leading to a quarterback hurry. 

Rex Sunahara, LS

On Sunday, Sunahara matched his season-high of 11 snaps for the third time this season. He was graded well at 65, as he snapped for seven punts and four snaps. With the Cleveland Browns, he suffered a 27-20 loss against the New York Jets. 

Austin Brinkman, LS

Houston Texans fans were happy to see their long snapper see his lowest snap total of the season at four. He was only called upon for two punts and two kick attempts in a 36-29 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

David Sills V, WR

The Atlanta Falcons receiver continued a streak of 25 or more offensive snaps, now at five weeks, with 31 downs played in Brelin, Germany. He saw 17 passing snaps and 14 rushing attempts. He saw one target, but did not bring in a reception in a 31-25 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. 

Wyatt Milum, G

For the second time this season, the Jaguars’ third-round pick was active, although he did not see any game snaps. Through the week, he was upgraded from limited to full participation. 

Rasul Douglas, CB

A foot injury suffered in Week 8 kept Douglas inactive against his former team, the Buffalo Bills.
